Besides traditional four year college, (BA and MA) I have attended three community colleges since graduating from high school 50 + years ago. It was never my intention to graduate from a community college. I took classes there in specific technical areas I was interested in for career or personal development. A metric for increasing graduation rates may lead one astray unless it clearly distinguishes between continuing education/personal development and associate degree matriculation.
