Explore the associations between community college student transfer status and subsequent educational and workforce outcomes. Examine risk profiles that lead to negative outcomes to identify areas where policy intervention may ameliorate risk. Research questions under consideration What characteristics of students and their educational progress are most likely to lead to completing a 2-yr degree (transferable or not); transferring to a 4-year institution; completing a bachelor’s degree? What is the relationship between institutional factors and student outcomes? Do students who experience different outcomes differ significantly on some characteristics or group of characteristics? 14
