Mission & History
CCCP Logo The Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) develops and strengthens academic partnerships between UCLA and California community colleges. Through a multi-faceted approach with efforts at the student, faculty, and administrative level CCCP works to increase the academic preparation and competitiveness for community college transfer students, particularly those who are first generation, low-income or underrepresented. CCCP also helps community colleges to develop a transfer sending culture, and the University to develop a transfer receiving culture.
To accomplish this, the Center:
* Strengthens relationships with administrators, faculty, and staff at community colleges to establish strong lines of communication and cooperative student-based programs aimed at improving academic competitiveness and increasing the diversity of the applicant pool;
* Works intensely with selected community college partners, particularly those with large underrepresented populations
* Integrates UCLA’S K-12 and community college outreach, recruitment and retention programs;
* Facilitates stronger and more effective working relationships between community college programs and offices serving potential transfer students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, such as MESA, PUENTE, EOP/S and TRIO.
