Download or read book The Effects of Structured Transfer Programs in Community Colleges written by Rachel Baker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many community college students begin with the intention of transferring to a four-year school but relatively few actually do. One hypothesis for the low rates of successful two-to-four year transfers is that academic program choices in community colleges are too numerous and too complex. In this paper, the author will address a longer term outcome of a state articulation policy in California (number of associates degrees granted) as well as the more proximate outcome (changes in course taking patterns) implicit in these more distal goals. She will also examine whether the reform is having heterogeneous effects on different demographic groups and different degree programs. Using data from California Community Colleges, the author will answer the following research questions: (1) Do structured academic transfer programs for community college students affect student outcomes and course-taking behavior?; and (2) Does a more structured transfer program affect the demographics (race, age, SES, prior education) of degree programs in community colleges and does it have larger effects on particular groups of students? The author worked closely with a community college district in Northern California. She used exclusively administrative data for this project. This study provides preliminary evidence that the introduction of Associates degrees for transfer had an effect on the behavior of students. Tables are appended.

Download or read book Implementing Transfer Associate Degrees Perspectives From the States written by Carrie B. Kisker and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, a convergence of several forces—increased legislative involvement in higher education, governmental and philanthropic pressure to increase postsecondary degree and certificate production, and fiscal belt-tightening at colleges and universities across America—has resulted in efforts to significantly reform community college-to-university transfer and articulation processes. One increasingly popular method of reform is the implementation of transfer associate degrees: statewide pathways or degree programs that allow students to both earn an associate degree from a community college and transfer seamlessly into a state university with junior status. This volume of New Directions for Community Colleges outlines the elements of effective transfer associate degrees and explores their implementation in six states. This is the 160th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.
