Student Transfer in Professional Pathways Project (STP3)
A comprehensive study of student transfer between California’s community colleges and public and private universities in career-oriented disciplines.
Student Transfer in Professional Pathways Project (STP3) developed actionable research to support improvement of transfer outcomes in professional pathways, including:
- Investigating transfer pathways in career majors with high workforce demand: engineering, accounting, nursing, teacher education and criminal justice
- Mapping the educational pathways of 14,500 transfer students who traveled through California’s community colleges and universities (public and private) to achieve a bachelor’s degree in these disciplines
- Collecting perspectives from over 1,000 students about the factors that impacted their transfer journey
- Convening with community college and university practitioners, employers and advocacy groups about ways to facilitate transfer in these majors
