Community college transfer studentsâ probabilities of baccalaureate receipt as a function of their prevalence in fourâyear colleges and departments
The present paper determines whether community college transfer students have higher baccalaureate rates when they enroll in fourâyear colleges and departments that have larger shares of transfer students. Transfers attending nonâtechnical campuses with larger shares of transfers have higher eightâyear baccalaureate rates, but withinâcampus increases in share transfers do not increase transfer graduation rates. Transfers in departments with large shares of transfer students have significantly lower graduation rates, but natives in such departments do not. Withinâdepartment increases in transfer student presence are positively correlated with transfer eightâyear graduation rates and negatively correlated with native eightâyear graduation rates, indicating an opportunity for efficiency gains if influxes of transfers are separated from natives.peer effects, transfer education, community colleges, human capital,
