Alarming Collapse of Associate Degree Pipeline

Associate degree completions have plummeted 18% overall since 2019, but the crisis is far worse for LA County schools specifically—down 24% from 2019 levels by 2023. This decimates the most accessible and equity-focused pathway into nursing, particularly impacting working-class and minority students who rely on community colleges. This trend directly contradicts workforce needs given the low barriers to entry.

Disappearing National Talent Pipeline

National (non-CA) graduate supply to LA County collapsed 12% overall, with Bachelor's degrees down 13% since 2019. This represents a major reversal of LA's traditional role as a talent magnet. The 2022-2023 drop (99 to 87, down 12 points) suggests accelerated out-migration or reduced attractiveness of LA County to out-of-state graduates, potentially due to cost of living or competitive opportunities elsewhere.

Extreme Concentration Risk in Bachelor's Programs

West Coast University-Los Angeles alone produces 39% of all BSN graduates—981 of 2,499 total. If this single institution faces enrollment, accreditation, or financial challenges, LA County loses two-fifths of its Bachelor's pipeline overnight. The next four schools combined (Azusa Pacific, CSU Dominguez Hills, Mount Saint Mary's, CSU Long Beach) produce only 42%—barely more than one school.
