Calbright zeroes in on adult student support after rocky start - Danielle McLean, Higher Ed Dive

Calbright College had a slow and rocky start since it opened its doors in 2019. But over the last couple of years, California’s free online community college has notched wins and reached state-mandated milestones. The college is designed to give working adults the flexibility to complete a certificate program, allowing them to boost their earning potential while overcoming barriers they would face at a typical college.  So far, Calbright has designed and validated 17 new programs, meeting a key legislative milestone. The number of certificates Calbright has awarded since its launch has also steadily increased — from 116 in June 2022 to 286 in June 2023, according to its recent milestone report.
