Transfer students are an important population in higher education, and this has prompted a significant amount of research on their completion and success. Yet research on transfer student college choice and factors involved in the decision-making process remains fairly limited. Using a case study approach, the current research aims to identify and compare the factors in the decision process between students transferring from a two-year to a four-year institution and those transferring from a four-year to a four-year institution. Findings indicate that the decision process differs greatly between two-year and four-year transfer students, and this, in turn, affects transfer credit processes. Despite these differences, students in both groups utilized similar resources--including family, peers, and websites--to navigate the transfer process. A discussion and recommendations for colleges and universities is included.
