Hispanic Transfer Rates from Community Colleges to 4-Year Institutions

I'm doing some research on Hispanic transfer rates from community colleges to four-year institutions. Does anyone have insights on which schools have the best success rates for these transfers?

Sure, I can point to some data to get your research started. Typically, when considering transfer rates, it's best to look at schools with organized transfer programs or strong articulation agreements in place.

1. The University of California system has numerous transfer students graduating yearly with high success rates, with UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine notably touted for having Associates Degree for Transfer (ADT) guarantee programs that favor community college transfers, including Hispanic students.

2. Cal State universities are also recognized for high transfer rates, with a system that smoothly allows students earned credits to count towards their bachelor’s degree.

3. The University of Central Florida maintains a DirectConnect to UCF program, which ensures admission to UCF for students who receive an AA or articulated AS degree from one of their partner colleges.

4. The University of Texas - Austin has the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP), which provides students the opportunity to start their education at another UT system school, with the possibility to transfer to UT Austin to complete their studies.

5. Florida International University is another school known for a significant number of Hispanic transfer students from local community colleges, thanks to their "dual admission" program.

6. University of Arizona also has Pathways programs in place with multiple community colleges to streamline the admission process for transfer students, with a large number of transfers being Hispanic.

Remember, schools with high transfer rates often have supports in place to help transfer students, from advising teams to career resources. While the rates of transfer can give you an idea of success, also look out for these supports!
