Factors Contributing to the Upward Transfer of Baccalaureate Aspirants Beginning at Community Colleges

Incorporating the psychological perspective, this study examined factors associated with the upward transfer of baccalaureate aspirants beginning at community colleges. Based on the data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 and the Postsecondary Education Transcript Study, the study tested a logistic regression model to predict bachelor's degreeseeking community college entrants' transfer to four-year institutions. The results indicate that students' socioeconomic status, identification as African American, self-concept, high school test scores, and postsecondary enrollment patterns were significantly associated with the probability of transfer to four-year institutions among baccalaureate aspirants
