Transfer Students Trends and Issues

This volume is a comprehensive exploration of transfer policy as the central mission of America's community colleges. Chapters argue that institutions are in a strategic position to increase students' access and participation in the transfer pipeline, and to provide students with programs for rigorous academic training as well as opportunities to participate in formal articulation agreements with senior institutions. Contributors evaluate recent research and policy discussions surrounding transfer students, and summarize three broad themes in transfer policy: research, student and academic issues, and institutional factors.This is the 114th issue of the Jossey-Bass series New Directions for Community Colleges.Laanan, Frankie Santos is the author of 'Transfer Students Trends and Issues', published 2001 under ISBN 9780787957797 and ISBN 0787957798.
