About half of Americans (48%) say they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in community colleges. Confidence in community colleges is higher than confidence in four-year colleges and universities, as one-third of Americans report high levels of confidence in four-year institutions. Results for this study conducted in partnership with Lumina Foundation are based on a Gallup Panel™ web survey conducted June 3-18, 2024, with a sample of 2,180 U.S. adults aged 18 and older.
