“…One of the four main pillars of the guided pathways reform is mapping pathways to student end goals in transferring to 4-year institutions so that students know exactly which courses to take and in what sequence to reach their career or transfer goal; colleges must necessarily make all of this information accessible on their websites (Jenkins et al, 2017).…”

“…A key element is helping students choose and enter the pathway, an effort that can be supported by accessible, well-presented websites offering useful information (Jenkins et al, 2017). Another pillar is providing students with clear, actionable, and usable information they need to seamlessly carry on to the next institution; the college website is an important means to do so, as well.…”

“…These states were selected because both have embraced guided pathways and created successful 2and 4-year college partnerships. Jenkins et al (2017) note institutional websites as essential tools in guided pathways reform. They assert that websites can assist in communicating the pathway program maps and other related information developed by colleges to help students identify and achieve their end goals of earning baccalaureate degrees.…”

The authors examine trends in how successful guided pathways colleges communicate transfer options to 4year institutions via their institutional websites so that students-the ultimate benefactors of guided pathways initiatives-can discover and pursue the transfer partnership pathways. Institutions in the two states included in this review were selected based on nationally recognized exemplary practices and commitment to student success and outcomes. Three dimensions were explored in this website content analysis: How easy is it to find information (accessibility)? How is the information organized (presentation)? What relevant content is communicated (information)? The authors found that exemplary pathways institutions place pathways information prominently on their websites' home page, use similar language to describe pathways information and in multiple places on the website, and provide a connection to supportive transfer resources. The authors present the conclusions, discuss implications drawn from this study, and provide recommendations for practice.

This study employed the career capital framework (DeFillippi & Arthur, 1994;Inkson & Arthur, 2001) and the associated three ways of knowing adapted for community colleges: knowing why (aspirations), knowing how (knowledge and skills), and knowing whom (sources of information). The authors constructed an index to measure the alignment of community college students' experiences and careers. Using survey data captured at seven institutions in three states, the authors identified career capital-related predictors of such alignment. Attending for professional advancement, career program enrollment, student aid and work considerations, and community social networks were among the significant predictors.
