Tracking Transfer & Bachelor’s Completion: Insights from the National Student Clearinghouse

Join researchers from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center to explore national and state benchmarks for progress and completion along the community- college-to-four-year transfer pathway. Using national entering cohorts, this session highlights transfer and six-year completion rates disaggregated by student and institutional characteristics. Attendees will walk away with benchmarks to consider for their own institutions and ways to explore data further using the interactive dashboards available on our Research Center site.
