Factors Influencing CTE TransferSurveys and Interviews with CTE Faculty, Counselors, and CTE Administrators
Top Rated Factors Supporting CTE Transfer
– 2-year instructors help promote CTE transfer– Regional transfer agreements– Transfer culture at community college– ASSIST– Local outreach by 4-year colleges promoting
CTE programs

Factors Influencing CTE TransferSurveys and Interviews with CTE Faculty, Counselors, CTE Administrators
Top Rated Factors Compromising CTE Transfer
– Differences in transfer requirements at receiving colleges
– Differences btw Associate and transfer requirements
– Insufficient counseling– Insufficient outreach by 4-year colleges
3. Factors Influencing CTE Transfer

Surveys and Focus Groups with CTE Students
Two Key Factors Supporting Transfer
- How do I do it?
- Accurate and timely technical information about transfer
- Yes you can!
- Support and encouragement from faculty, counselor, and/or peers

Inter-Segmental Strategies
• Bridge/connector courses• Regional collaboration between 2 and 4 year
institutions in targeted CTE disciplines• University partnerships
(Baccalaureate Partnership Program) • Bachelor’s of Applied Studies • Statewide transfer agreements
4. Strategies Supporting CTE Transfer

Strategies from Other States & Studies
• Career Ladders (AS to BS in targeted CTE programs)
• Capstone Programs
• Community College Baccalaureate
• Transfer of a Block of Courses

Next Steps for CTE Transfer Research
• Programs with high transfer rates in high demand and emerging CTE disciplines
• Colleges with high CTE transfer rate across the board
• Two-four year institutions connected by high CTE transfer rates
• Four-year institutions awarding CTE BAs on CC campuses
• Effective strategies by receiving institutions (incl. privates)
• Applied Baccalaureate Degree (applicability in CA)
