This book was released on 2006 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three decades of research on four-year college students has drawn favorable conclusions about the importance of student involvement in academic and extracurricular activities. Student involvement may also influence community college transfer student preparation, but it is unknown whether existing research results can be generalized to this population. Therefore, this study addresses the central question: Is there a relationship between student involvement and the transfer readiness of community college students?

This book was released on 2017 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges are looked upon to train the increasingly diverse workforce in California and many students typically begin their academic path at a community college. Given the wide variety of educational opportunities provided by community colleges, the transfer function plays a critical role in providing the initial access for underrepresented and low-income students to the baccalaureate degree. This quantitative study aimed to examine factors contributing to student success for Black men in California community colleges. Specifically, this study drew from the Community College Success Measure to examine perceived transfer readiness predictors from a sample of Black male California community college students that have identified whether they are on track to transfer to a 4-year institution. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-tests and logistic regressions. Findings from this study determined that when controlling for background characteristics, care from staff in transfer offices predicted greater odds of being on track to transfer to a four-year institution for Black male community college students. Findings also suggested the utilization of transfer office services contributed to greater odds of perceived transfer readiness for Black male community college students when controlling for background characteristics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lower division transfer preparation for the university has been the primary mission of community colleges since their inception, creating an important pathway to baccalaureate degree attainment for many students who may not otherwise have the opportunity for higher education. Once considered fairly straightforward, the transfer pathway has become overly complex and difficult for students to navigate. The underlying issues with community college transfer are multifaceted and profound, and often the focus of much attention by public policy makers. This study explored the extent to which the complexity with transfer is rooted in flawed state and local policy coupled with insufficient capacity to meet the growing demand for postsecondary education at many public universities in California. This embedded case study examined the transfer pathway in one large region in southern California in the first decade of the 21st century. The study investigated the implications of flawed public policy and insufficient capacity at some public universities on the development of local policy, and the unintended consequences for transfer students who are denied admission to transfer. Further, the study described how these policy decisions are hindering access and equity in the public postsecondary education system in the region under investigation. Amidst fluctuating economic conditions, the public higher education system in California has struggled to meet increasing enrollment demand. Notwithstanding the ongoing deterioration in state appropriations for higher education in California, the need for increased baccalaureate degree attainment to meet the future economic demands of the state is more critical than ever.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which factors promote student transfer from California Community Colleges (CCC) to baccalaureate-granting institutions? How do community college practices support this transition? Which student behaviors and characteristics particularly facilitate their movement to four-year colleges and universities? The Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges (RP Group) investigated these questions through the Transfer Velocity Project (TVP)--the most comprehensive study of community college transfer implemented to date. Because CCCs serve as the primary point of access to postsecondary education understanding and improving the community college transfer function is increasingly a priority for higher education policy-makers, advocates, researchers and practitioners alike, particularly in light of and demographic forecasts of a debilitating shortage of baccalaureate-trained workers in California. This research brief (1) introduces the project's primary components, (2) highlights key findings on institutional factors and student behaviors and characteristics facilitating transfer and (3) informs possible strategies and approaches for improving this transition for California Community College students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines how states, schools, and postsecondary institutions might best help improve college readiness and completion. Though more students are entering college, many drop out, especially those who are low income and/or of color. To address this problem, educational stakeholders have focused on the concept of college readiness, or the preparation a student needs to succeed in college. However, what it means to be college ready and how to help more students become ready are questions without clear answers. By way of historical and contemporary analyses, this book uses California as a case study to demonstrate how the state has endeavored to make postsecondary opportunity accessible for all students. The contributors also explore the challenges that remain and address what states and schools can do to improve college readiness and completion. This book adds important information to the debates and discussions around this critical topic. Caroline Sotello Viernes Turner, coeditor of Understanding Minority-Serving Institutions
