Jamestown Community College is the "Top Performing Public Two-Year College" in New York according to a report published by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the nation's leading publication of news and information about colleges and universities. Titled "College Completion: Who Graduates from College, Who Doesn't, and Why It Matters," the report is a microsite created from research supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Factors taken into consideration in

compiling the report included graduation rate, completions per every 100 students, cost per completion, spending per completion, student aid per recipient, and percentage of students receiving federal Pell Grants. JCC topped the list of public two-year colleges which included 35 institutions from within the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) with at least 200 freshmen per year.

The Chronicle, citing JCC data from students entering college in the fall of 2007, reports JCC's graduation rate as 34.8 in 150% time and 30.2 in 100% time. New York's graduation

rate averages were 19.6 and 10.9 respectively. As graduation rates at four-year colleges are typically measured in terms of six-year and four-year rates, 150% and 100% become the equivalent at two-year institutions as students seeking both associate degrees and certifi cates are included.

"This report is a point of pride for both JCC and the communities that support the college," said JCC President Gregory T. DeCinque. "JCC is delivering on its promises and doing so with great effi ciency." Dr. DeCinque noted that the report lists JCC's spending per completion at $46,354 while the state's average for two-year public

colleges is $67,695. The data considered expenses related to instruction, student services, academic support, institutional support, operations, and maintenance. "By visiting JCC's facilities and experiencing the high quality of education being delivered, it's clear to see that this college delivers a tremendous return on investment to the public," he said.

According to Marilyn A. Zagora, vice president and dean of academic affairs at JCC, credit for the top ranking goes to the college's faculty, staff, and students.

"This is a report that measures performance," Dr. Zagora stressed. "The factors considered in the report are the outcomes of the work of dedicated faculty and staff whose commitment to quality is the foundation of all they do to teach students and support them in various ways.

"At the same time," Dr. Zagora said, "this report reminds us that JCC is unique among community

colleges in that we serve high numbers of students who were top scholars in their high school classes. That is not likely to be the same profi le found at every community college. Through opportunities including the Unifi ed Student Assistance (USA) Scholarship, our honors program, and our strong transfer articulation agreements, JCC attracts high academic achievers who are confi dent that a JCC education will connect them to their goals and prepare them for both career success and the pursuit of bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctorates."

“Of note, the report does not count in its measures a number of other types of students for whom JCC is the springboard to college accomplishments such as those who choose JCC to begin a degree with plans to transfer elsewhere to continue their studies, those who “stop out” for a semester or more, but then return to JCC to continue making progress on their degrees, and part-time students who

choose to pursue a degree over a longer time period, often while balancing family and work with their college experience,” Dr. Zagora said. “These students represent hundreds of other success stories not captured in this data.”

New York's other top performing institutions listed in the Chronicle report were the United States Military Academy among public universities, Vassar College among private colleges, and Monroe College at New Rochelle among for-profi t colleges.

Daemen has approximately

2,000 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students.

get a “feel” for what the College is all about. Spring Open House is on Saturday, April 20 from 8:30am-1:00pm. This is a great opportunity to meet faculty and explore different majors, learn more about the financial aid and admissions process, and meet your

admissions counselor. Individual visits are also available Monday-Saturday. For more information, to schedule a campus visit, or to make reservations call 716-839-8225/800-462-7652, go to www.daemen.edu/admissions, or text us at 716-218-8830.

Adults who are interested in returning to college to complete their bachelor’s degree should investigate the ADVANCE Program at D’Youville College.

The ADVANCE Program offers adults the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s in business management in as little as 18 months while attending classes only one night per week (classes are held 6-10 pm), and most students only take one class at a time. This is all without disrupting the student’s personal and professional life.

The ADVANCE Program is designed with the adult learner in mind. Classes are smaller, taught in a seminar format, and only last five weeks. Additional required college credits can be earned through

several alternative methods. Internet Courses, Internships, Challenge/Clep Exams or courses offered other than during evenings are available to students who transfer in fewer credits but still want to complete their degree within a brief period of time.

“Your entire bachelor’s degree can be earned during the evening,” said Dr. Dion Daly, business department chair.

The ADVANCE program emphasizes leadership in the business environment. Because so many companies are undergoing changes, managers must be trained to lead the workforce through periods of disruption.

“Similar to the way business is conducted, our students get the necessary tools to advance in today’s workforce. Courses are taught by professors with

experience in business and management, so students get a unique combination of practical theory and real-life experience in each course. The seminar format also allows adult learners to share their own professional experiences,” said Jackie Milbrand, ADVANCE Program Counselor.

Another example showing that D’Youville has the adult learners needs in mind is students are not required to meet once a week in study groups.

“It’s difficult to be away from home a second night of the week to meet with a study group” says Dawn, a current ADVANCE Student. “We can still meet as a group when we need to, but it’s optional, not required like in other programs.”

The tuition cost for the ADVANCE Program is very competitive with other local adult degree

completion programs, and financial aid is available for qualified students. Payment options are also available for those looking to finance their education.

Adults interested in finding out more about this unique leadership-based program should contact the ADVANCE Office at 716-829-8090 or visit D’Youville’s website at www.dyc.edu. Classes begin in May.

Information Session:Wednesday, April 10 at 5:30 p.m.Classes begin Wednesday, May 15.It is not too late to apply for summer classes!

Grove City College located one hour north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a non-denominational, Christian college noted for rigorous academics and remarkable affordability.

In 2012, Grove City College was ranked

eighteenth out of the 50 Best Colleges in the United States by TheBestSchools.org. This ranking is based on a college’s record of achievement, diversity of study, freedom of inquiry and expression, academic rigor, and low cost and minimal debt. The rankings consider the quality of prospects that await students after graduation. Ninety six percent of Grove

City College graduates are employed or in graduate school six months after graduation.

Consumers Digest ranked Grove City College as the number one Top Value Private Liberal Arts College in the Nation. This ranking is based not only on the cost of the education,

but also on the academic achievement of the college’s incoming freshmen and the quality of the education the institution provides. Tuition at Grove City College is about half the national average for private colleges of the same high caliber and comparable to in-state costs for many public universities.

And while the college

accepts no federal funds, students can take advantage of institutional fi nancial aid based on need and/or merit, as well as student employment opportunities.

Established in 1876, The College was ranked eighth in the 2011 list of Most Popular Liberal Arts Colleges by U.S. News & World Report. Grove City College offers more than 50 programs of study including biology, mechanical engineering, English, communication studies, history, electrical engineering, business, accounting, political science, psychology, education, physical education, economics, entrepreneurship, Biblical and religious studies, philosophy, chemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, modern languages, music and fi ne arts, sociology and pre-professional programs.

like the Academy’s faculty did so long ago.
