Back to College: Are University Graduates Returning to Community Colleges? Working Paper WP/06-01
California Postsecondary Education Commission
Reverse transfer has recently become a topic of interest. There are concerns that some university graduates are having a difficult time finding good jobs and are enrolling in community college programs to make themselves competitive in the job market. To assess the extent of reverse transfer, the Commission conducted an analysis combining enrollment data from the community colleges with data on degrees awarded from the University of California and the California State University. This analysis showed that recent university graduates are taking classes at community colleges, just like other state residents, but that they are not taking course loads suggesting that they are working on programs needed to qualify for a career.
