Five California institutions are among the top 120 community colleges in the United States, according to a new ranking from the nonprofit Aspen Institute.
The colleges on the list – selected from 1,200 institutions nationwide – are now eligible to compete for the first-ever Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. The top college and two or three runners-up will be selected in December and will split a $1 million award.
