A growing network of community colleges embedded within four-year universities is producing stronger pathways to bachelor’s degrees for first-generation and minority students, according to a report highlighting colleges participating in the Come to Believe Network. Two-year institutions in the network—such as Arrupe College and Dougherty Family College—show substantially higher downstream four-year enrollment and completion rates than national community college benchmarks. Arrupe College in Illinois reported that more than 80% of graduates pursue a bachelor’s degree, with 80% completing within four years, while Dougherty Family College in Minnesota said 70% of graduates have enrolled in or completed a four-year degree since 2019. The approach emphasizes holistic, personalized support and a seamless onramp into four-year programs. The report attributes the outcomes to the embedded structure—community college students receive support inside a four-year environment—reducing friction at transfer and improving continuity of services. For higher education professionals, the model offers a scalable design for student success efforts that address the early barriers that prevent many community college entrants from completing bachelor’s degrees.
