Closing the Latino/a Transfer Gap: Creating Pathways to the Baccalaureate. PERSPECTIVAS: Issues in Higher Education Policy and Practice. Issue No. 2, Spring 2013
Núñez, Anne-Marie; Elizondo, Diane
American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education
Latinos are far more likely to begin postsecondary education in community colleges, and in fact roughly 51% are concentrated in this sector. Yet it is well documented that few manage to successfully complete the transition from a two- to a four-year college or university, making transfer the key leakage point in the pathway to the baccalaureate. In fact, Latino and Black students transfer at lower rates than White students. Consequently, closing the transfer gap has become one of the most important policy issues in higher education. This policy brief addresses how to build the capacity of community colleges to foster Latino student transfer to four-year colleges and universities. [For Issue No. 1, see ED571015.]
