About Community Colleges
Community colleges are an engine of social mobility. Borough of Manhattan Community College ranks No. 3 among two-year public institutions, with the “Highest Student-Mobility Rates, 2014,” according to an article published by the Chronicle of Higher Education on August 19, 2018. BMCC, which scored a mobility rate of 6.1 percent, was one of several CUNY’s campuses that made a strong showing on the rankings. Read more.

Nationally, nearly 75 percent of the faculty are white. Read more.
