Abstract	This study examines employment and earnings outcomes for Bachelor's of Applied Science (BAS) degree-holders who graduated from a Washington community and technical college baccalaureate (CCB) program in business, computer and information sciences, healthcare, and visual and performing arts. These graduates are compared to graduates from public regional four-year universities in Washington in similar program areas. The CCB sample includes a larger percentage of students of color than the university group because the CCB group is more racially diverse, but these groups' programs of study are as similar as possible given requirements that community college and university programs should not be duplicative. Results show both groups have high employment match rates in all four program areas, with CCB graduates demonstrating a slightly higher employment match rate than university graduates. Moreover, relatively small differences exist in initial earnings, and both groups show annualized earnings increases over time. However, we do see differences in earnings by gender and race that are larger within the CCB and university groups than between the groups. [For Data Note 7, see ED608163.] (As Provided).
