I'm looking at the Community College of Philadelphia as a starting point. Does anyone know what their transfer rates are like for students moving to four-year universities?
According to the most recent data that I could find, the Community College of Philadelphia has a transfer-out rate of about 14%. This means that around 14% of the students at the college transfer to a four-year institution to continue their education.
However, please keep in mind that the transfer rate may vary by year and is influenced by many factors, including the unique goals and circumstances of each student. It might be a good idea to meet with a counselor at the community college who can provide you with more recent, specific, and comprehensive information about transfer rates and guide you through the transfer process. At many community colleges, there are dedicated staff members who specialize in helping students transfer to four-year institutions.
Lastly, remember that your own motivation, academic performance, and choice of courses play a huge role in the transfer process. The better your grades and the more rigorous your coursework, the more likely you are to be accepted as a transfer student at a four-year institution. So, stay focused on your studies, and seek out any resources or support that could help you succeed.
