“…For the past few decades, quite a number of studies have explored factors related to student transfer from two-year to four-year institutions (e.g., Anderson, 1981;Bailey, Jenkins, & Leinbach, 2005;Breneman & Nelson, 1981;Brint & Karabel, 1989;Cohen & Brawer, 1996;Deng, 2006;Dougherty, 1987Dougherty, , 1994Lee & Frank, 1990;Lee, Mackie-Lewis, & Marks, 1993;Meznek, 1987;Roksa, 2006;Velez, 1985;Velez & Javalgi, 1987). Similar to most of the literature addressing college student departure (e.g., Bean, 1986;Cabrera, Nora, & Castaneda, 1993;Tinto, 1987Tinto, , 1993, many of these studies explored the effects of various student background characteristics and their results confirmed the pronounced impact of entry characteristics on educational outcomes (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991, 2005.…”

“…For example, Anderson (1981) and Velez (1985) included controls for educational expectations in their analyses of different samples of the National Longitudinal Study of 1972's (NLS72) high school class of 1972, but these authors restricted their samples to community college students in academic programs as if these were the only students interested in transferring and attaining a bachelor's degree. This assumption cannot be validated with recent data: close to 60% of students from the 1992 high school class who started postsecondary education at a community college with expectations for a bachelor's degree enrolled in non-academic majors or failed to disclose a major throughout the first uninterrupted period of postsecondary enrollment (author's estimations based on NELS data).…”

“…The percentage of students who started at a 4-year college and attained a bachelor's degree, in contrast, is a high 71%. Even when a wide array of variables are controlled for, as the relatively extensive literature attempting to explain the baccalaureate attainment gap between community college and 4-year college students shows, the baccalaureate attainment gap continues to be significantly in favor of 4-year attendees (Alba and Lavin, 1981;Anderson, 1981;Christie and Hutcheson, 2003;Rouse, 1995;Velez, 1985;Whitaker and Pascarella, 1994).…”

“…Lewis, Wentworth and Orvis (1973) found that students at 2-year colleges performed significantly below their 4-year counterparts on the standardized Test of Understanding College Economics (TUCE). Consensus drawn from the early empirical studies that directly compared students at two-year with those from fouryear institutions supported the view that community college students were less likely to attain a Bachelor's degree (Anderson, 1981;Christie & Hutcheson, 2003;Dougherty, 1992;Ganderton & Santos, 1995;Lee, Mackie-Lewis, & Marks, 1993;Nunley & Breneman, 1988).…”
