Academic Performance of L.A.C.C. Transfers to California State University at Los Angeles, 1976-77. Research Study 77-12.
Stine, Vance
Academic performance of Los Angeles City College (LACC) transfers to California State University at Los Angeles (CSULA) in 1976-77 was assessed by examining first quarter grade reports of all 667 students. Of these, 552 or 83% completed some work, with 50% entering in fall, 17% in winter, 19% in spring, and 13% in summer. The grade point average (GPA) for all 552 was 2.49 on a 4.0 scale, 0.11 points below the junior college average of 2.60. A 3.0 average or better was earned by 37%, while 19% fell below 2.0. A major in the School of Letters and Science was selected by 29%, with 25% choosing Business and Economics, 27% Fine Arts, 3% Engineering, and 15% undecided. Fine arts majors earned the highest GPA at 2.64, with business majors achieving the lowest at 2.32. Of 1,443 grades earned, 53% were A or B, and 14% D or F. Highest averages (3.0+) were achieved in physical education, music, recreation, Chicano studies, Spanish, and art. Since 1957, GPA's for new LACC transfers to CSULA have ranged from 2.36 to 2.60, with a differential between CSULA and LACC grades of -0.13 to +0.21. While grades have remained fairly constant, the number of transfer students has declined over the last five years. (Author/RT)
