- Abstract
This study, based on national longitudinal data, was conducted to examine factors associated with: (1) transfer from 2- to 4-year colleges, and (2) positive and negative outcomes at the 4-year colleges. Analyses were based on data collected by the American Council on Education in its initial and followup surveys of the 1968 freshman class. This study is based only on full-time enrollees; since nearly half of junior college enrollments are part time, these findings apply to only half the junior college population. Findings are presented in two parts: (1) transfer to the upper division--comparisons of transfers with nontransfers and factors related to transfer; and (2) receiving institutions and the baccalaureate performance of transfer students --institutional characteristics, transfer performance, relation between baccalaureate attainment and institutional characteristics, and factors related to completion.
