Contributed Article compiling the report JCC 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

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 fouryear 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 certificates 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 efficiency."

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.

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 profile found at every community college.

Through opportunities including the Unified Student Assistance (USA) Scholarship, our honors program, and our strong transfer articulation agreements, JCC attracts high academic achievers who are confident 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-profit colleges.

The ADVANCE Program offers adults the opportunity to complete a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your entire bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree can be earned during the evening,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Similar to the way business is conducted, our students get the necessary tools to advance in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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,â&#x20AC;? said Jackie Milbrand, ADVANCE Program Counselor.

â&#x20AC;¨â&#x20AC;ŠPR0OGRAMS Contributed Article Marketing, eCommerce Bryant & Stranton College Responding to the needs of employers in Western New York, Bryant & Stratton College has announced they are offering several new Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree programs as well as new Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees.

Starting this spring, students can enroll in one of Bryant & Stratton Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three Bachelor of Business Administration degree programs: General Management (which offers specializations in Human Resources,

and Project Management), General Management Financial Services, or General Management Office Information Technology Management.

Bryant & Stratton College also offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Services Administration, for those who want to enter the growing healthcare field or advance in the healthcare career they already have.

Hospitals, medical clinics, and nursing homes are all very complex organizations with a great many people performing everything from tests and

procedures to therapy and rehabilitation. What do Health Services Administrators do in these environments?

They keep track of costs and see to it that healthcare facilities are functioning as efficiently as possible. These professionals have a unique combination of business training and knowledge about the delivery of healthcare services, which they use to oversee budgets, coordinate staff, and more.

In addition to their new Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees, Bryant & Stratton College has added new Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree programs as well. They

include Hospitality Management â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Restaurant & Hotel Services, Office Information Technology, and Medical Reimbursement & Coding.

Bryant & Stratton Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree programs can be completed in under four years when you attend full-time in consecutive semesters.

Their Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees can be completed in two years or less of continuous study.

Classes are forming now for Bryant & Stratton Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring semester. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like more information about their new Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree
