Discussed in this report is the City University of New York (CUNY) Transfer Express Project, a 3-year project designed for career-oriented Associate in Applied Science degree (A.A.S.) transfer students at colleges within the university who are not well prepared for baccalaureate study because of an underexposure to writing, math, and liberal arts courses. It is intended to help A.A.S. degree transfer students become better equipped to meet the expectations of the educational experience of this neglected minority, and to facilitate the transition between community and four-year institutions. Persistence, performance, and baccalaureate completion rates of A.A.S. transfers should be increased. At CUNY, A.A.S. students represent the largest transfer cohort yet they are the least well prepared in seeking transfer into four-year schools. Transfer Express activities include reinforcement of basic writing skills, introduction to advanced skills in research, exposure to history, connections with the community and the senior college faculty, and specialized transfer advisement. The project is offered during three consecutive semesters to about 675 CUNY students in two disciplines. It will be replicated nationally for two consecutive semesters at two or three sites. Intended outcomes are to: enhance writing, research, and critical thinking skills; increase student retention at the baccalaureate level; and improve student performance. (SM)
