A report from CNN Money ranks Cumberland County College as having the highest rate of student success in New Jersey.
College Measures, a joint venture of the American Institutes of Research and Matrix Knowledge Group, compiled a success rating for each community college in the U.S. to help students in finding the best options for obtaining a post-secondary education.
At 48 percent, Cumberland County College has the highest student success rate of 18 New Jersey community colleges. In addition, Cumberland County College tied for second place among community colleges in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
The ranking is based on the percentage of students who graduated within three years and/or transferred to four-year colleges using statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics, the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education.
