Expanding STEM Talent Through Upward Transfer: Factors Influencing Transfer in STEM Fields from Two-Year to Four-Year Institutions

This study investigates factors associated with student transfer from 2- to 4-year institutions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields of study. This project will generate research-based knowledge to illuminate mechanisms underlying successful upward transfer in STEM, a policy concern of critical importance given the vital and diverse pool of STEM talent that 2-year colleges can supply.
