The Chronicle's College Completion website provides graduation and cost statistics for nearly all colleges in the USA.
The following table, generated by using the College Completion website, compares MC to three universities that are attended by many MCPS graduates.
Also noteworthy is the fact that only 5.7% of MC students graduate within two years, and 14.2% within three years.
Some MC students transfer to four year universities without receiving their Associate's Degree, a fact not taken into account in the statistics included on the College Completion website.
According to data provided by MC, 26.2% of the students in the spring 2011 MCPS graduation class enrolled at MC in the fall 2011 semester.
Our thanks to Dan de Vise of the Washington Post for pointing out the College Completion website.
To add insult to injury, MC hires and assigns the title of "Professor" to individuals who do not even possess a bachelor's degree, and they teach college credit courses. Questionable academic credentials reflect negatively upon the college's image and mission statement.

At a minimum, a Master's degree in a specific discipline is required in order to teach at a community college. An important detail that Montgomery College seems to overlook.
