The previous six chapters have focused on particular aspects of the processes involved in implementing transfer associate degrees in various states. In this chapter, the authors synthesize that information by presenting an ideal state-level organizational model for implementing these degrees and describing the various constituencies involved in the process and their motivating interests and values (which, as seen in the previous chapters, may not always be aligned), as well as the types of negotiation and compromise needed to successfully honor these perspectives. Finally, the authors offer a view to the future and ask some hard questions regarding the future of transfer associate degrees. (Contains 2 figures.)
