“Higher Education and access for all eligible students is a key cornerstone of our economic competitiveness.”

Stephen Levy, Center for the Continuing Study

of the California Economy

Higher Education is Accessible

• Three state-funded institutions of higher education in California: – 10 Universities of California (research predominant) – 23 California State Universities (teaching and

teacher training focused, less research) and – 110 CCCs and their satellite campuses. (7% of U.S.

Community Colleges)

• Almost every Californian can commute to a nearby community college or one of its satellite campuses.
