"The Road Less Traveled": Bachelor's Degree Attainment amongst First-Time Nontraditional-Aged Transfer Students in the United States
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v72 n3 p271-286 2024
This study investigated the likelihood of bachelor's degree completion among nontraditional-aged transfer students. Using national data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study, this study provided insight into the success of first-time nontraditional-aged students who initially enrolled at a community college and transferred to a four-year institution in the United States. Analyses from a binary logistic regression indicated that the timing of a student's transfer, their cumulative loan amount, and support from their peers shared a positive relationship with bachelor's degree attainment. Results also indicated that having children and being married had no significant effect on a nontraditional-aged transfer student's likelihood of degree completion at four-year institutions.
