Community College of Philadelphia Transfer Outcomes of Graduates in 2001. Report.
Philadelphia Community Coll., PA. Office of Institutional Research.
Summarizes findings from the 2001 survey of Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) graduates regarding their transfer experiences. Prior to data analysis, the respondents were divided into two curricular clusters (career and transfer) based on their program of study at the College. Of the 1,143 associate degrees awarded in 2001, 42.2% were awarded in transfer programs and 49.8% were awarded in career programs. Key findings of the survey relate to the subsequent college experiences of CCP graduates. The transfer rate for CCP graduates within a year of graduation is relatively high in comparison to previous survey findings. As expected, a larger percentage of transfer program graduates in 2001 (68%) continued their education than did career program graduates (42%). CCP graduates in 2001 enrolled in a broad range of curricular programs at their transfer institutions. While education was the major field of study for 2001 CCP graduates, there were also graduates who continued their studies in a variety of business, social and behavioral science, and allied health programs. The survey also revealed that most graduates who subsequently continued their education were pleased with the staff support and transfer course preparation they received at CCP. (RC)
