Outcomes were better for younger community college attendees; students aged 20 or younger earned associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees or both, at a slightly higher rate than students between the ages of 20-24 or older. Nearly 37% of students earning an associate degree took 2-3 years to earn a bachelor’s degree. http://www.educationdive.com/news/report-41-of-associate-degree-earners-move-to-bachelors-in-6-years/421765/
