Community College Review

Aims & Scope

The mission of the Community College Review (CCR) is to provide a forum for leading thought on community colleges, their students, and the educators and administrators who work within these institutions.

CCR welcomes manuscripts addressing all aspects of community college administration, education, and policy within the American higher education system as well as higher education systems of other countries spanning tertiary education globally.

All manuscript submissions undergo a blind review.

CCR extends constructive feedback to authors.

When manuscripts are not accepted for publication, the editorial board offers suggestions revision and improvement.

The CCR serves a national and international audience, which includes presidents, community college faculty and administrators, university researchers, graduate students, policymakers, and others interested in the role of community colleges in higher education.

Articles published in the CCR include qualitative and quantitative research reports, critical literature reviews, scholarly essays, and book reviews.

All featured publications reflect sound scholarship, appropriate research methodologies (in the case of empirical, data-driven studies), and the integration of theory and practice.
