What Counselors Still Need to Know about Community Colleges
Johnson, Anne Stansbury
Journal of College Admission, n214 p122-123 Win 2012
Many things have not changed since Esther Hugo's 2006 article on community colleges. For the most part, "open-door" means just that: "apply and you're in." The lenses community colleges use to see students are still complex; the purposes of community colleges are still many. Students of all ages come for transfer, career and vocational training, remediation and recreation. What changes have the recession of 2008 and intense public scrutiny of outcomes wrought? Community colleges currently enroll about 46 percent of the college-going population (Kolesnikova 2009). Understanding the options community colleges provide continues to be important for school counselors. This article outlines 10 ideas that counselors still need to know about community colleges.
