Backtracking CTE Students in Two-Year Programs

Abstract

A community college transfer program can be an exciting opportunity for students looking to continue their education at a four-year college or university. These programs are designed to help students transition from community college to a four-year institution by providing them with the skills and knowledge they need for secondary education. In this study, graduates of Tallahassee Community College alumni are backtracked and surveyed. The surveys gather information about their experiences and opinions. This information can be used to improve the community college experience for future students, as well as to identify areas of strength and weakness in the college's programs and services. This project aims to explore students’ pathways, especially that of women, minorities, and other underserved student groups.
