In a study that followed a group of students who graduated from high school in 1997, each was monitored in progress made toward earning a bachelor's degree. The group was divided into two- those who started at community college and later transferred to a four-year college (group 1), and those that started out in a four-year college as freshmen (group 2). The data below summarize the findings: Community College
