Transfer Students: The True American Ninja Warriors
Strickland, Kristine H.
About Campus, v23 n4 p27-30 Sep-Oct 2018
Kristine H. Strickland reviews the variety of barriers on community college students' path to transfer and completion. Though community college transfer students can be as successful as transfer students from four-year institutions, Strickland argues that both two-year and four-year institutions need to do more to prepare students for transfer and to support their integration after transfer. She suggests that community colleges provide clear maps to degree completion, such as degree audits, and partner more closely with transfer partners. Strickland also recommends prior learning credit policies such as skill-mastery portfolios to provide credit for work or military training and experience.
