This book was released on 1996-12-25 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to improve transfer and articulation policies and practices are critical to maintaining transfer as an essential community college mission in the 1990s and beyond. This volume explores various aspects of transfer and articulation including its history, the role of the state, controversies over transfer rate definitions and formulas, collaborative models of articulation, and effective use of interinstitutional faculty deliberations in the articulation process. In their discussions, the authors of this volume also present recommendations for current and future transfer and articulation policies in an attempt to expand the discourse and thereby enhance the ability of community colleges to serve their own educational goals as well as the educational goals of this nation. This is the 96th issue in the journal series New Directions for Community Colleges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education in the United States is facing increasing demands for accountability in response to dismal college completion rates. Seeking to increase educational effectiveness, many states reform higher education governance structures (Novak, 1996). Both states and higher education governing bodies have sought to increase college completion by improving community college to university transfers (Kisker, Wagoner & Cohen, 2011). Transfer and articulation policies have been part of higher education for years, yet have rarely exceeded 33 percent (Townsend & Wilson, 2002). This study explored the cultural aspects of a new transfer policy from the perspectives of key stakeholders. It relied upon five precepts proposed by Tierney (2008) to determine the effectiveness of governance communication and decision-making. Handel's (2011) theory of a transfer affirming culture framed the findings as to the elements of transfer success at the community colleges and state university. Added to this theory was the work of Jain, Herrera, Bernal, and Solorzano (2011) which defines the requisite services for pre-transfer and post-transfer success of non-traditional students. This study was guided by the following research question: How do community college and state university faculty, administrators and staff perceive the transfer articulation policy in relation to their campus cultures? A qualitative multi-site case study design was used to gather rich, descriptive, in-depth information (Stake, 1995). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with N=5, faculty and N=5, elite informants and N=1, staff. Three focus groups (N=3) were conducted with N=7 faculty, and N=7 staff. Data collection included N=7, observations of faculty meetings and analysis of documents that were pertinent to the study. The researcher analyzed transcripts, field notes and documents to corroborate major themes (Boyatzis, 1998). Findings revealed that difficulties may exist between community college curricula and student transfer pathways as well as a cultural gap between community colleges and the state university. They also showed the politics surrounding higher education governance reform and a clash of political and academic cultures. this study may help policy makers promote state wide transfer and articulation initiatives and be instructive for faculty, administrators and staff as they create a transfer affirming culture on their campuses.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a discussion of articulation and transfer between community colleges and four-year institutions and points to future directions for transfer education. Chapter I examines the current situation regarding transfer education including background information on transfer enrollments; a summary of the literature on transfer enrollments, and performance and persistence; performance and persistence in California and other states; and the implications of the current situation for public policy. Chapter II discusses statewide articulation and transfer and identifies three types of statewide and/or transfer agreements (i.e., formal and legally based policies, state system policies, and voluntary agreements between individual institutions or systems), and provides examples of each of these types of agreements. This chapter also examines the transfer of vocational-technical credits and the transfer potential of upper-level universities. Chapter III reviews significant developments on the international scene including an assessment of developments in Canada, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Ireland. Finally, chapter IV examines some new developments in transfer education including the shift in attention from traditional college students to "the new clientele"; transfer relationships with business/industry, proprietary schools, and the military; major projects undertaken to promote the study of articulation and transfer; and current trends in the area of articulation and transfer.

Download or read book Implementing Transfer Associate Degrees: Perspectives From the States written by Carrie B. Kisker and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, a convergence of several forces—increased legislative involvement in higher education, governmental and philanthropic pressure to increase postsecondary degree and certificate production, and fiscal belt-tightening at colleges and universities across America—has resulted in efforts to significantly reform community college-to-university transfer and articulation processes. One increasingly popular method of reform is the implementation of transfer associate degrees: statewide pathways or degree programs that allow students to both earn an associate degree from a community college and transfer seamlessly into a state university with junior status. This volume of New Directions for Community Colleges outlines the elements of effective transfer associate degrees and explores their implementation in six states. This is the 160th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than thirty years, The American Community College has been the go-to reference for faculty, administrators, trustees, state-level officials, and researchers concerned with the role of community colleges in the American educational system, the services they provide, and their effects on students and surrounding communities. Now in its sixth edition, The American Community College includes a new chapter on student outcomes and accountability; a case for reconceptualizing general education around critical thinking, civic engagement, and sustainable development; and an appendix examining the ascendant for-profit sector. The sixth edition also incorporates expanded analyses of recent trends within the community colleges, including vertical expansion; cross-sector collaboration; student and faculty characteristics; enrollment patterns; revenue generation and state allocation patterns, including performance-based funding; distance learning; and statewide efforts to improve transfer and articulation. In addition, the authors include a response to contemporary criticisms of the institution. Comprehensive in scope, the sixth edition of The American Community College is designed for anyone concerned with the role and purpose of community institutions in American higher education. The descriptions and analyses of each of the institution’s functions can be used by administrators who want to learn about practices that have proven successful at other colleges, curriculum planners involved in program revisions, faculty members seeking ideas for modifying their courses, students preparing for careers in community colleges, and trustees and officials concerned with college policies and student progress and outcomes. Each chapter of the book includes guiding questions for reflection and discussion.

Download or read book The Impact of Virginia Statewide Community College Transfer Policy on Student Academic Success written by Paul Allen Smith and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges are an increasingly important component of the higher education systems in the United States. Community college as a pathway toward a better educated workforce has been emphasized at a national and state level. Virginia's policy makers set a goal of producing 100,000 new baccalaureate degrees in the Commonwealth by 2025. Critical to meeting this goal is Virginia's Community College System. In 2005, Virginia passed the Higher Education Restructuring Act which granted students graduating from Virginia's community colleges with an associate's guaranteed admission into any state-funded, four-year institution. Building on this earlier policy, Virginia passed The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2011. This act expanded the role of the community college and placed a greater emphasis on articulation policies and baccalaureate attainment. The effectiveness of articulation policies on community college transfer and baccalaureate attainment has been debated in the academic literature. Some have suggested to measure policy effectiveness, academic outcomes and not transfer rates, must be compared before and after policy implementation. To gauge the effectiveness of Virginia's guaranteed admission policy, this study examined archival student data for native and transfer students who achieved a junior standing at a single four-year state-funded institution. Furthermore, transfer student baccalaureate attainment rates and time to degree baccalaureate completion were compared before and after policy implementation. The study results showed native students graduated in greater percentages and have lower mean time to baccalaureate completion than transfer students; high school and college GPA are predictors of baccalaureate attainment for transfer and native students; transfer student baccalaureate attainment rates and mean time to baccalaureate completions were lower following policy implementation, or simply, fewer bachelor's degrees were awarded but those completing a baccalaureate did so in less time after policy implementation. The findings of this study suggest transfer students with baccalaureate aspiration are negatively impacted for attending community college prior to transfer and Virginia's articulation policy at the study institution had little impact on academic outcomes for transfer students following policy implementation. These single institutional results may suggest modification to Virginia's articulation policy is necessary to improve academic outcomes for community college transfer students.
