Transfer From 4 Year to 2 Year College Is Risky Business

Reverse transfer report from the National Student Clearinghouse
Reverse transfer students (specifically, those who move from four-year to two-year institutions outside of summer months) are the subject of this report from the National Student Clearinghouse. According to the report, more than half of the examined reverse transfer students did not return to the four-year sector by the end of the six-year study period, and only one in 10 complete a degree. Check out the full report for more details on the pathways and outcomes of this student population. 

Growning Number of “Reverse Transfers” From Universities To Community Colleges

Forks in the Road
Roughly 14% of first-time students who enrolled at a four-year institution in the fall of 2005 had transferred from a community college by 2011, according to a new study that sheds light on “reverse transfers.” Of the transfer group, about 17% eventually returned to their original four-year institution, while 28% went on to a different four-year. The other 55% either stuck it out at community colleges or dropped out.
