The majority of students attending community colleges across America, plan to transfer to four- year colleges to complete baccalaureate degree requirements. Over 50% of transfer students achieve this goal but less than 20% actually graduate and obtain the degree.

Produktbeschreibung
The majority of students attending community
colleges across America, plan to transfer to four-
year colleges to complete baccalaureate degree
requirements. Over 50% of transfer students achieve
this goal but less than 20% actually graduate and
obtain the degree. This is due to a combination of
factors including poor preparation at both high
school and community college levels, and transfer
students inability to take full advantage of
adjustment strategies offered by the four-year
college. Community colleges; however, have
consistently continued to provided access and
educational opportunity to the majority of
multicultural diverse student population. The study
revealed that transfer students succeeded when the
four-year college made determined efforts to provide
quality adjustment interventions including accurate
academic advising, writing and computer labs,
mentoring and flexible schedules. It is recommended
that higher education administrators and
policymakers take these factors into account as they
seek to improve the overall state of higher
education for transfer students.
