Report: Students Who Transfer From Community College to 4-Year Schools Show Excellent Outcomes

This entire report is heavily weighted by transfers from California’s fine community college system to California state universities and colleges. If you want to know the demographics of the ~11K students who transferred from community college to a Most Competitive school, well, about half of those students transferred to Berkeley or UCLA.

At Berkeley, the transfer cohort has a higher percentage of Latino/Chicano students, a higher percentage of black students, a considerably lower percentage of Asian-Americans, and a considerably higher percentage of internationals. This suggests that money plays a big part in the choice of a student to do their first two years at community college and then transfer to a California public.
