• W173937446 abstract "Transfer students comprise a substantial component of the student body in many 4-year academic colleges, but the factors affecting students' success once they have transferred are poorly understood. Using data from standard university records, academic performance was examined for 2,467 students enrolled in natural resource majors at a mid-sized public West Coast university with a reputation for an emphasis on natural resources and sciences. Contrary to other studies, no statistical evidence was found for a difference in the performance of and transfer students: both raw GPA and GPA adjusted for precollege variables were statistically indistinguishable between the two groups of students. Two hypotheses for the lack of difference in performance are offered. First, small class sizes at the university studied may facilitate a greater a sense of social security and thereby ease the adjustment for transfer students to their new schools. Second, the geographical isolation may encourage transfer students to remain near the campus community, which could usher more rapid assimilation into the academic community. A better understanding of the factors that elevate and alleviate transfer shock will help academic administrators, counselors, and teachers better ensure the success of transfer students. ********** Transfer students comprise a substantial component of the student body in many 4-year academic colleges and universities in the U.S. (Holohan, Green & Kelley, 1983), and approximately 20% of students in community or technical colleges will transfer to 4-year institutions (Grubb, 1991). While much research has focused on a long-term decline in community college transfer rates, factors affecting students' success once they have transferred have been less emphasized (Laanan, 2001). Transfer students face a variety of academic, social, and intellectual climate issues while acclimating to their new schools (Eggleston & Laanan, 2001), and this can lead to a tendency for transfer students to under perform academically relative to native students who matriculate at their academic institution for their first two, and subsequent, years. When investigated empirically, this tendency has varied considerably across institutions and states with different community college educational practices (Holohan & Kelley, 1983; Kitnzer & Wattenbarger, 1985). This report provides data on the academic performance of 2,467 students enrolled in natural resource majors at a mid-sized public West Coast university. Most other analyses have been campuswide or focused on social sciences humanities (Laanan, 2001), perhaps reflecting the emphases of their authors. Only one other analysis has focused on students in natural sciences (Ditchkoff, Laband & Hanby, in press). I conclude the note by offering two testable hypotheses for the difference, or lack thereof, in performance of transfer and students. Method Participants and Setting Data were obtained on academic performance of 2,467 students who graduated with a Bachelor of Science from 16 majors within the college of natural resources and sciences at Humboldt State University during the 12-year period of 1992-2003 (Table 1). Humboldt State is located in a largely rural county in Northwestern California, and it has a reputation for an emphasis on natural resources and sciences. Although several departments made slight curricular changes over these years, this time span was chosen because the university requirements remained largely consistent and the inclusion of a lengthy period substantially increased the sample size and statistical power. The university's Office of Academic Affairs provided all the data. Procedure The students' graduating grade-point-average (GPA) was used as a measure of academic performance. Values were calculated on a 4-point scale from all graded courses taken at the university. …" @default.
