Abstract	Community college transfer--rooted in the notion that any individual, regardless of background or academic preparation, could enroll at an open access college, transfer to a four-year institution, and earn a bachelor's degree--is the most transformative educational experiment of the century. Even for a nation that prides itself on second chances, the transfer process is exceptional. But there are two major problems with this generous perspective: First, community college transfer is "not" an experiment; it is a practice more than 100 years old. Second, transfer was a transformative idea "in the last century," not this one. Despite the progressive intentions of its founders, the transfer process in the United States still underperforms.
