Title:Baccalaureate success of transfers and rising four-year college juniors
Source:http://cue.usc.edu/tools/Melguizo_Dowd_Baccalau...
Date:2009
Organization:Center for Urban Education
Short Description:The main objective of this study is to compare the effect of being a successful community college “transfer” student instead of a “rising junior” in a four-year college on bachelor’s degree attainment (247 transfers and 787 rising juniors).
Annotation:The main objective of this study is to compare the effect of being a successful community college “transfer” student instead of a “rising junior” in a four-year college on bachelor’s degree attainment (247 transfers and 787 rising juniors). Logistic regression is used to estimate the effect of being a transfer student after controlling for academic preparation, postsecondary institutional characteristics and financial aid. Results indicate that the negative effect of being a transfer student declines after controlling for differences in socioeconomic status and disappears when accounting for state-level characteristics. The study contributes to growing evidence of a smaller diversion effect than previously estimated.
