What a great transfer session to kick off my conference experience!
Doug Shapiro from the National Student Clearinghouse presented a clear and thought-provoking look at current trends in transfer and the incredible scale of student mobility.
Here are just a few facts that stand out for me as important signposts in tracking the recent paths of students who have completed bachelor degrees:
- 65% have attended 2 or more higher education institutions
- 55% have attended a community college
- 25% have earned an AA or AS degree
- 46% of those who earned an AA/AS degree attended more than one community college
The National Student Clearinghouse offers numerous resources to help institutions meet the challenges presented by our “new normal” in student mobility.
