Journal Article
Public Community Colleges: Creating Access and Opportunities for First-Generation College Students
2015
Overview
The author defines a first-generation college student and describes the struggle many such students face in obtaining higher-education degrees. Using Heller's (2001) five categories of access, the author outlines how the public community college, more than any other type of higher-education institution, creates opportunities for many first-generation students. Community colleges, however, are not immune to challenges, especially low retention and transfer rates.
