A state-wide study of transfer students moving from two-year to four-year colleges in 1974 was conducted in order to describe the extent to which the New Jersey County Colleges were serving as the entry point for students seeking a baccalaureate degree, to enhance the understanding of the impact of two-year college transfer students on the proportion of lower and upper division enrollments at the four-year colleges, and to estimate the size of the two-year college transfer cohorts over the near term. Among the findings of the study were: (1) transfer growth between 1973-74 and 1974-75 alone was on the order of 25%; (2) transfer students accounted for a small segment (estimated at 6% to 7%) of four-year college undergraduate enrollments in 1974-75; (3) nearly 60% of transfers entered the upper division while the remaining 40% were distributed equally among freshman and sophomore classes; (4) the majority (84%) of transfers went into public four-year colleges; and (5) 70% of the transfers enrolled in a four-year college in the same or adjacent county as their county college. It was concluded that continued growth in numbers of two-year college transfer students plus enrollment ceilings in four-year colleges may lead to increased competition for space between transfers and entering freshmen and to an intensification in selective admissions that may impair access to a public baccalaureate education via a transfer degree.
