This presentation described results from a study on four- to two-year college transfer. The study aimed to answer four research questions:
- What are the characteristics of students who begin in four-year colleges but enroll in courses at two-year colleges? What courses do they enroll in?
- Do transfer students have different outcomes than non-transfer students?
- Do individuals with temporary enrollments at two-year colleges accumulate a different level of human capital than those who never transfer? Do employers see them differently?
- Are there penalties for staying in two-year colleges for too long?
