Top Tech-Smart Community Colleges Get Ranked
The top tech-smart community colleges have been named by the Center for Digital Education and the American Association of Community Colleges. The center conducted a survey to highlight colleges that provide a high level of information-technology service to students and faculty. The survey examined colleges’ offerings in such areas as online admissions, student access to transcripts and grades, information security, campus-security alerts, and online-library capabilities.
Institutions were placed in three categories, based on the number of students enrolled in 2007. The top three winners in each category were: 7,500 or more students: Montgomery County Community College, Blue Bell, Pa. Northern Virginia Community College, Annandale, Va. Florida Community College, Jacksonville, Fla.
3,000 to 7,500 students: Laramie County Community College, Cheyenne, Wyo. Darton College, Albany, Ga. Tompkins Cortland Community College, Dryden, N.Y.
Fewer than 3,000 students: Carl Sandburg College, Galesburg, Ill. Central Wyoming College, Riverton, Wyo. Minnesota West Community and Technical College, Worthington, Minn.
The center is a membership organization and a division of e.Republic, a for-profit publishing and research group. —Josh Fischman
