The African American Transfer Tipping Point: Exploring the Transfer Journeys of Over 7,000 African American/Black Community College Students
Darla M. Cooper; Katie Brohawn
RP Group
In 2022-2023, The RP Group surveyed over 7,000 African American/Black students across the California Community Colleges (CCC) system to further explore their transfer experiences. This report offers a selection of highlights from this comprehensive, statewide survey and specifically elevates findings related to the four core student experiences: gateway English and math completion, academic counseling, Umoja participation, and academic probation. The report begins by reviewing prior research by The RP Group that informs this current effort. Then, the authors describe the survey participants and summarize new insights from the students themselves on the four core student experiences. Student quotes from the open-ended questions in the survey appear throughout in callout boxes. The report concludes with recommendations to individuals working within the CCC system and beyond for how they can act on this information to better support transfer-motivated African American/Black students and ensure they make progress toward their educational goal: a bachelor's degree.
