Clarendon College has been recognized by CNN Money as one of the top 30 colleges in the nation in a ranking of success rates of U.S. community college.
Clarendon College sits at #28 of the list with a 64 percent success rate, a number that is based on the percentage of students that graduated within three years or transferred to four-year colleges.
“We are pleased to appear on the CNNMoney list of colleges that give students the best chance for transferring to a 4-year university,” Clarendon College President Dr. Phil Shirley said. “We feel it is an invaluable asset to students seeking higher education to attend a college that has an excellent transfer record and high standards for matriculation to another higher education institution.”
According to the ranking, College Measures created the success rate chart for CNNMoney “to help students find the best options.”
CC is the ranked #1 for Texas community colleges on the list, and ranks #14 in the nation among small, rural colleges.
“We are humbled and gratified by this report and will continue to pursue excellence at every avenue as we continue to serve students to the best of our resources,” Shirley said.
