University Transfer Programs in theCommunity College\n\nJOHN D.DENNISON*  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nDuring recent years,the increasing public demand for community college programs whichlead to immediate employment has created something of an \"identity crisis\"for collegefaculty in British Columbia.Orginally,the college concept in this province reflected acomprehensive curriculum with amajor emphasis upon academic programs which providethe student with transfer credit to the universities.However,comment in the publicpress and statements from the Ministry of Education indicate that the academic programsare very much out offavor and perhaps should be relegated to the universities.In view ofthe uncertainty which this situation has produced,it seemed important to take a newlook at the college academic-transfer programs in 1977.  \nThe study which followed produced several important facts.Despite rumour to thecontrary,enrollment in college academic programs has not declined over the past fiveyears,but has remained at approximately 65%.The percentage of university transferstudents actually transferring from colleges to universities has reached 16%,althoughthere is considerable variation among the individual colleges.  \nStudies indicate that only about half of the university transfer students actually\"intend\"to transfer to university.Obviously,many students in the university transferprograms are interested in general education or merely exploring their capacity or interestin academic study.At the University of British Columbia,the percentage of under-graduate students who have transferred from colleges has grown from 9%in 1969 to18%in 1976.The majority of these students are successful in obtaining a universitydegree.  \nFinally,it should be stated that the term\"university transfer\"is really a misnomer.The values of an academic education are just as real as ever,and transfer to universityis not the sole criterion on which these programs should be judged.The academic programsof the community college meet the needs of a clientele served by no other institution,offer educational opportunity for a segment of society which has been ignored in thepast and provide a major impact upon the quality of life in its immediate community.  \nRESUME  \nUne nouvelle perspective pour les programmes des colléges publics quimenent a l'Université  \nLa demande croissante pour les programmes des colleges publics qui conduisent directe-ment au marché du travail est en train de créer une véritable crise \"d'identite\"chez lesenseignants de ces colleges en Colombie-Britannique.Initialement la vocation collégialedans cette province se situait au niveau d'un programme d'études complet ou l'accentétait principalement mis sur les matieres academiques qui permettaient al'étudiant depoursuivre ses études au niveau universitaire.Cependant les reactions de la Presse et lesdeclarations du Ministere de I'Education semblent indiquer que les programmes academi-ques sont delaisses et qu'ils devraient etre confies al'Université.Dans un contexte aussiincertain,il devient nécessaire de reconsiderer la situation de ces programmes acadmiquesqui ont pour fonction de preparer aux études universitaires.  \nCette étude permet de mettre en valeur certains faits importants.Il semble toutd’abord que les effectifs etudiants dans les programmes académiques n'ont pas déclinéau cours des cinq dernieres années,comme le laisseraient croire les bruits qui circulent,mais qu'ils se sont maintenus a peu pres a65%.Bien qu'il y ait de grandes différencesd'un college a I'autre,on doit noter également que le taux de passage du niveau collegialau niveau universitaire a atteint 16%.  \nDes études indiquent que seulement la moitie des étudiants inscrits dans ces programmesont I'intention de poursuivre au niveau universitaire.Il semble donc que de nombreuxetudiants recherchent dans ces programmes une formation générale de nature académique.A I'Universite de Colombie-Britannique,le pourcentage des étudiants sous-gradués quip","cbCaimomsBWuYtEV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimomsBWuYtEV","pdf",580668,12,"English","# Abstract\n##
