Book Synopsis The State of College Access and Completion by : Laura W. Perna
Download or read book The State of College Access and Completion written by Laura W. Perna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite decades of substantial investments by the federal government, state governments, colleges and universities, and private foundations, students from low-income families as well as racial and ethnic minority groups continue to have substantially lower levels of postsecondary educational attainment than individuals from other groups. The State of College Access and Completion draws together leading researchers nationwide to summarize the state of college access and success and to provide recommendations for how institutional leaders and policymakers can effectively improve the entire spectrum of college access and completion. Springboarding from a seminar series organized by the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, chapter authors explore what is known and not known from existing research about how to improve student success. This much-needed book calls explicit attention to the state of college access and success not only for traditional college-age students, but also for the substantial and growing number of "nontraditional" students. Describing trends in various outcomes along the pathway from college access to completion, this volume documents persisting gaps in outcomes based on students’ demographic characteristics and offers recommendations for strategies to raise student attainment. Graduate students, scholars, and researchers in higher education will find The State of College Access and Completion to be an important and timely resource.
Book Synopsis A Comparison of Academic Performance Between Community College Transfer Students and Non-transfer Students at a Four-year University in Ecuador by : Aldo Alfredo Maino
Download or read book A Comparison of Academic Performance Between Community College Transfer Students and Non-transfer Students at a Four-year University in Ecuador written by Aldo Alfredo Maino and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2000, the number of students transferring from United States community colleges to four-year institutions has steadily increased. As a result, growing attention has been paid to community college students' academic performance following their transfer. Research conducted in the United States has reported mixed results regarding transfer students' academic performance in four-year institutions. Similar to the United States, many college students in Ecuador transfer to different types of postsecondary institutions. However, no research has been published on this experience in Ecuador that can inform educators and support transfer students' academic performance after transferring. To fill this gap, this study investigated the characteristics and academic success of community college students who transferred to a four-year institution in Ecuador. In particular, this study used secondary data to compare characteristics and academic performance (i.e., GPA) between transfer and non-transfer students attending a small private four-year university in Ecuador between Fall 2008 and Fall 2013. Results from mixed-effects models showed that transfer students had a higher average GPA after one semester (intercept) than non-transfer students; however, no difference in the average change in GPA over the years (slope) was found between transfer and non-transfer students. Further analysis examining gender differences in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept) showed that transfer females performed significantly better than males. It was also found that the area or program of study was a significant predictor explaining some of the variation in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept). For example, students in engineering programs had the lowest average GPA across the years. This suggests that extra attention and academic assistance might be necessary for these students entering to engineering program of study. In addition, significant differences in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept) were found depending on the quality of the community college that students transferred from. This result suggests that universities should design their marketing strategies and admission resources that recruit students from category A and B institutes of technology and universities, which can be further facilitated by subscribing articulation agreements with these institutions to allow prospect transfer students to transfer a great majority of their credit hours. The current study shows, that transfer students are capable of being academically successful at four-year institutions. It further suggests that recruitment efforts aimed at community college transfer students should target students based on their transferring GPA and the quality of the transferring institution; while for non-transfer students on the basis of high school GPA. It is hoped that this study would help Ecuadorian authorities and institutional officers at all levels more effectively facilitate student mobility between the country's institutes of technology and its universities, and encourage more in-depth research on transfer students so that their academic potential becomes a reality.
Book Synopsis A Comparison of the Academic Success of Transfer Students and Native Students at a Private Urban Institution by : Angela M. Tripp

This book was released on 2006 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to compare the academic success of transfer students and native students enrolled in a private urban university. The relationship between community college students and their performance at four year institutions has been researched by numerous researchers (Carlan & Byxbe, 2000; Cejda, 1994; Cohen, 1998; Hill, 1965; Graham & Hughes, 1994; Montondon & Elkner, 1997). Banks (1990) has written that the founders of junior colleges believed the success of their transfer mission could be gauged by the success of their students at the four-year institution. Current research was highly focused on transfer students as they moved from community colleges to public four-year institutions. Inadequate research was available to assist independent colleges and universities in working with transfer students. Sixteen hundred independent colleges and universities have enrolled more than 3.1 million students, a critical number of students needing focused and specialized research on transfer (National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, 2005). This causal comparative study examined a cohort of students who transferred into a private four-year institution. The study was comprised of native and transfer students who entered a private urban university, Fall, 1999, and examined their academic success outcomes six years later (May, 2005). The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the extent to which native and transfer students differ in their academic success in a private urban university. The study found no statistically significant differences in the academic success (grade point average, retention rate, graduation rate) of transfer and native students based on transfer status, classification, age, gender or transfer institution type. No statistically significant differences were found in the grade point averages and retention rates of transfer and native students based on enrollment status. However, full-time transfer and native students had a statistically higher graduation rate than part-time students. Implications for future practice and recommendations for further research are provided by the study. -- Abstract.

This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in partnership with the National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students. Analysis of bachelor’s degree completion suggests that only about a third of college graduates attend a single institution from start to finish. More than one quarter earn college credits from three or more schools before completing a degree. For most, these student-defined pathways lead to increased time-to-degree and higher costs. Many will simply drop out long before crossing the finish line. Ensuring college completion and success requires an understanding of the evolving nature of transfer transitions and a system-wide approach that reaches beyond two-year and four-year institutions to include high schools participating in dual enrollment programs and military college initiatives. A new edited collection offers insight into institutional and statewide partnerships that create clearly defined pathways to college graduation and career success for all students.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Students who transfer to four-year institutions from community colleges often encounter difficulty within their classes post-transfer and tend to graduate at lower rates than their peers who began at four-year institutions as freshman (Bailey, Jenkins, & Leinbach, 2005; Jenkins & Fink, 2016). Reasons for these lowered rates of success have been explored, but have often focused on academic reasons while neglecting any possible social causes. The current review aimed to explore what is known about the impact of social factors, such as belongingness, on community college transfer students' rates of persistence and academic success at four-year institutions. The literature was searched in a systematic way using a three-part search strategy, through which 21 articles were deemed eligible to be included and further evaluated. Several social factors emerged, including sense of belonging, the stereotype of a community college transfer student, and additional considerations for student success as well as social support from family, peers, faculty, and advisors. Most students reported the social factors identified to play a role in their success at the four-year institution. The findings from each theme are presented and future directions for research and programs to be used to address those factors mentioned are suggested."--Page 5.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with At last there is a handbook that everyone in higher education can use to help increase transfer student success. This comprehensive resource has been brought together to meet the need for a truly holistic approach to the transfer experience. The book brings together research, theory, practical applications, programmatic illustrations, case studies, encouragement, and inspiration, and is supplemented by an online compendium for continual updates of resources, case studies, and new developments in the world of transfer.Based on a totally different way of thinking about, understanding, and acting to increase transfer student success, The Transfer Experience goes far beyond the traditional, limited view of transfer as a technical process simply about articulating credits, a stage of student development, or a novel enrollment management strategy. Rather, the book introduces a stimulating array of new perspectives, resources, options, models, and recommendations for addressing the many needs of this huge cohort – making the academic, civic, and social justice cases for improving transfer at both transfer-sending and transfer-receiving institutions.

Book Synopsis After Admission by : James E. Rosenbaum
Download or read book After Admission written by James E. Rosenbaum and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrollment at America's community colleges has exploded in recent years, with five times as many entering students today as in 1965. However, most community college students do not graduate; many earn no credits and may leave school with no more advantages in the labor market than if they had never attended. Experts disagree over the reason for community colleges' mixed record. Is it that the students in these schools are under-prepared and ill-equipped for the academic rigors of college? Are the colleges themselves not adapting to keep up with the needs of the new kinds of students they are enrolling? In After Admission, James Rosenbaum, Regina Deil-Amen, and Ann Person weigh in on this debate with a close look at this important trend in American higher education. After Admission compares community colleges with private occupational colleges that offer accredited associates degrees. The authors examine how these different types of institutions reach out to students, teach them social and cultural skills valued in the labor market, and encourage them to complete a degree. Rosenbaum, Deil-Amen, and Person find that community colleges are suffering from a kind of identity crisis as they face the inherent complexities of guiding their students towards four-year colleges or to providing them with vocational skills to support a move directly into the labor market. This confusion creates administrative difficulties and problems allocating resources. However, these contradictions do not have to pose problems for students. After Admission shows that when colleges present students with clear pathways, students can effectively navigate the system in a way that fits their needs. The occupational colleges the authors studied employed close monitoring of student progress, regular meetings with advisors and peer cohorts, and structured plans for helping students meet career goals in a timely fashion. These procedures helped keep students on track and, the authors suggest, could have the same effect if implemented at community colleges. As college access grows in America, institutions must adapt to meet the needs of a new generation of students. After Admission highlights organizational innovations that can help guide students more effectively through higher education.
Book Synopsis Understanding the Working College Student by : Laura W. Perna
Download or read book Understanding the Working College Student written by Laura W. Perna and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How appropriate for today and for the future are the policies and practices of higher education that largely assume a norm of traditional-age students with minimal on-campus, or no, work commitments?Despite the fact that work is a fundamental part of life for nearly half of all undergraduate students – with a substantial number of “traditional” dependent undergraduates in employment, and working independent undergraduates averaging 34.5 hours per week – little attention has been given to how working influences the integration and engagement experiences of students who work, especially those who work full-time, or how the benefits and costs of working differ between traditional age-students and adult students.The high, and increasing, prevalence and intensity of working among both dependent and independent students raises a number of important questions for public policymakers, college administrators, faculty, academic advisors, student services and financial aid staff, and institutional and educational researchers, including: Why do so many college students work so many hours? What are the characteristics of undergraduates who work? What are the implications of working for students’ educational experiences and outcomes? And, how can public and institutional policymakers promote the educational success of undergraduate students who work? This book offers the most complete and comprehensive conceptualization of the “working college student” available. It provides a multi-faceted picture of the characteristics, experiences, and challenges of working college students and a more complete understanding of the heterogeneity underlying the label “undergraduates who work” and the implications of working for undergraduate students’ educational experiences and outcomes. The volume stresses the importance of recognizing the value and contribution of adult learners to higher education, and takes issue with the appropriateness of the term “non-traditional” itself, both because of the prevalence of this group, and because it allows higher education institutions to avoid considering changes that will meet the needs of this population, including changes in course offerings, course scheduling, financial aid, and pedagogy.
