Title: Two-Year College to Four-Year College: The Likelihood of Transfer
Abstract: Lately, two-year colleges have been the fastest growing sector of higher education. One of their main assignments is to prepare academically oriented students to go on to four-year colleges. This paper reports the findings of an effort to assess the effect of institutional integration, background, academic processes, and psychosocial variables on the transfer probabilities of subsamples of two-year college students. Results indicate that sex, race/ethnicity, high school track, religion, and SES have strong and significant effects on transfer probabilities, and that significant others also exert strong and significant effects. In particular, holding a work-study job and living on campus largely increase the odds of transferring to a four-year college.
