Abstract: Earning a bachelor's degree is an increasingly necessary step for economic success, as economic opportunity for non-degree holders continues to shrink, and bachelor's degree holders continue to earn more over the course of their lifetimes than those without a college degree. While the transfer pathway from the California Community Colleges to the California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) systems is a critical route to a bachelor's degree in California, this pathway is out of reach for too many of California's students. This brief provides solutions for California policymakers to ensure students in rural and remote regions of the state have access to bachelor's degree programs and the economic opportunity and social benefits a bachelor's degree affords.
