Many students who first enroll in a community college express an interest in transfer and baccalaureate attainment. However, few actually attain the baccalaureate degree.

In this study, we examine factors, including socio-demographic characteristics, geographic characteristics, and personal goals on baccalaureate attainment among students who began their academic career at the community college.
