These two-year institutions teach nearly 40 percent of the nation’s undergraduates and 37 percent of all first-time freshmen, offering a variety of affordable learning opportunities that serve the communities in their regions. As well as offering many standalone credentials, community colleges can serve as a gateway to pursuing a bachelor’s degree at a four-year institution. Even as the pandemic caused a sharp decline in community college enrollment in Fall 2020, a nationally representative study revealed that over 40 percent of community college students who persisted with their degrees or enrolled for the first time aspired to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher, and earlier studies have shown that over 80 percent of surveyed community college students wanted to pursue a bachelor’s degree.  \nHowever, these students face many barriers in their path to a bachelor’s degree. The transfer process can be very complex, and students often struggle to get reliable and up-to-date advice to make important academic and financial decisions. This process can become especially confusing for transfer into independent colleges and universities, many of which have their own distinct requirements for applicants and students. Without clearly articulated transfer pathways from community colleges to baccalaureate institutions, students often navigate this process on their own, leading to delays or a frustrating, negative end to their journey.  \nThe Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges (OFIC) launched the Ohio Consortium for Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts to change this narrative for community college transfer students in Ohio. The Consortium’s goal was to create three new pathways for community college students to follow to earn bachelor’s degrees in English, psychology, or biology within two years of transferring to an independent four-year institution in the state. With generous funding from the Teagle Foundation and Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, this project has brought together faculty members and administrators at 14 independent four-year colleges and universities and 11 community colleges to build these pathways and set clear and standardized expectations for general education requirements across all institutions in the Consortium, ensuring that students can transfer into these receiving four-year institutions without losing any of the progress they made at their sending community colleges.  \nThe participants in the Consortium collaborated with great enthusiasm to build the three pathways, set general education requirements, and build stronger frameworks for advising and financial aid to support students on their journey to a bachelor’s degree. We are grateful for their hard work and that of the project team, as well as the s","cbCaip5DykgqxhgO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip5DykgqxhgO","pdf",971690,21,"English","# Letter from Project Partners\n## Project Summary\n## Project Goals\n## An Overview of the Landscape of 2021\n## Project Activities\n## Project Outcomes\n## Best Practices and Considerations for Building and Sustaining Transfer Pathways\n## Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the Ohio Consortium for Transfer Pathways address?\",\"answer\":\"It targets the complexity of transfer processes and the difficulty students face in getting reliable, up-to-date guidance—especially when transferring into independent colleges with distinct requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"What pathways were created by the consortium?\",\"answer\":\"The consortium worked to create three new two-year transfer pathways for community college students to earn bachelor’s degrees in English, psychology, or biology at independent four-year institutions in Ohio.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the consortium support student transfer across institutions?\",\"answer\":\"It built clearer and more standardized expectations for general education requirements, aiming to ensure students could transfer without losing progress and receive stronger frameworks for advising and financial aid.\"}]","Ohio Consortium for Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts - Final Report | PDF",1792050767,53]
