Black students and students over 24 are less likely to get their bachelor’s degree after transferring, the report found.
Most Texas community college students who transfer to a four-year university don’t graduate, according to a report on college transfers released Wednesday.found that only 45% of students in Texas who go on to a four-year college get a bachelor's degree within six years. Black and adult students struggle even more after they transfer out of a community college, with just 33% and 37% completing their bachelor’s degree, respectively.
“No wonder there is this distrust in higher education when transfer students who enter these kinds of institutions can't realize their goals,” said Tania LaViolet with the Aspen Institute. That doesn’t guarantee success for a student once they enroll at a four-year university. For one, classes they take at their community college often. And those who do eventually graduate are not graduating fast enough, which delays their entry into the workforce and can mean the amount of money they pay for college continues to accrue, LaViolet said.
“I've looked at some of the different transfer plans that students have to navigate. It's hard for me to figure out what courses exactly they're supposed to take,” Schudde said.that would be guaranteed to transfer to any public university in the state. The goal is to ensure up to 60 credit hours — the total number of credits that earns students an associate's degree in Texas — can apply to university degree programs, THECB Commissioner Harrison Keller said in a statement.
