This research study from the Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and Employment (CAPSEE) examines academic and labor outcomes for struggling students in an unnamed state who transfer from a four-year to a two-year postsecondary institution (also known as “4-2 transfer students”). The study finds that struggling 4-2 transfer students are more likely to earn a postsecondary credential than similar students who do not transfer. What’s more, these students were no less likely than similar students to earn a bachelor’s degree and had similar earnings and employment rates. The study urges policymakers and administrators to consider policies that would provide and facilitate transfer opportunities for struggling students.
