In fall 1993, a study was conducted at the Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) to examine characteristics and outcomes for 264 former students who had transferred to State System of Higher Education (SSHE) universities between 1988 and 1993. The SSHE universities provided data regarding student major, credits transferred, current enrollment status, cumulative grade point average (GPA), gender, race, and age. In addition, CCP collected information from its institutional database on CCP graduation status, number of semesters enrolled at CCP, and cumulative credits earned. Study findings included the following: (1) in general, the SSHE universities did not attract large numbers of CCP transfers, with the exception of West Chester and Cheney which enrolled 98 and 91 CCP students, respectively; (2) while roughly as many females as males transferred, females were underrepresented in the transfer group when compared to their college-wide enrollment; (3) students between 18 and 25 years of age were more likely to transfer than older students; (4) 52.4% of the students were white, while 44.8% were Black; (5) an average of 62 credits were transferred; (6) 48.9% earned a 2.0 to 2.99 GPA at the transfer university, while 26.5% earned a GPA between 3.0 and 4.0; (7) in general, students met with slightly more academic success at CCP than at the transfer university; (8) 37.1% earned either an associate degree or certificate prior to transfer; and (9) the most common programs of study at SSHE universities were education, business, and social science programs. Data tables are included. (KP)
