Forty percent of all first-time freshmen begin their post-secondary careers in community colleges. Among all community college students who were eligble for transfer to a college or university and who declared that their goal was a bachelor's degree, only 14% actually earned a degree. The number of credits accepted by four year universities greatly influences a student's success rate, according to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. "Among those who had all of their credits accepted 82 percent had graduated within six years with a bachelor's degree," while "among those who had only some of their credits accepted, 42 percent had attained a bachelor's degree" during the study period. This has some relevance for Goodwin College as well.
