Abstract
Community colleges may represent an important component of strategies that aim to increase the quantity and diversity of computer science bachelor's degree earners. This study examines a national cohort of bachelor's recipients who began at community colleges, and finds limited evidence that these students can follow a “well-trodden pathway” in computer science. To entice more students to CS bachelor's degrees, 4-year colleges may need to work more closely with 2-year colleges to create structured pre-transfer pathways in CS.
