A Spectrum of Partnerships: Intentional Collaborations to Improve Transfer Outcomes

• In Event: Exploring University Partnerships & Collaborations

Abstract

Community college and four-year university partnerships that focus on improving transfer outcomes are critical to advancing equity, as many underserved populations pursue baccalaureate degrees through community colleges. This paper examines qualitative data from a mixed-methods study and proposes a typological continuum of ways in which transfer partnerships can be enacted.
