Transfer
The Aspen Institute College Excellence Program developed six recommendations for California based on findings from The Transfer Playbook 2.0, co-authored with the Community College Research Center. The playbook highlights evidence-based practices that improve transfer outcomes at scale—insights that are especially relevant as too few California community college students, particularly those from historically underserved groups, earn a four-year degree despite statewide efforts to improve transfer.
To help build on the state’s progress, Aspen—supported by the College Futures Foundation—partnered with The RP Group and the Campaign for College Opportunity to translate these national findings into six actionable, California-specific recommendations.
This work offers practical guidance for policymakers, system leaders, advocates, and philanthropists committed to improving outcomes for each and every student who needs or wants to transfer and attain a bachelor’s degree.
