Abstract | The 1,514 students graduating from the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Washington (UW) in June 1974 were asked to complete a survey of student characteristics, opinions of educational experience at UW, and future plans. The response group of 895 (59 percent of the total) consisted of 43 percent "natives" (entered UW directly from high school), 30 percent transfers from other four-year institutions (senior college transfers), and 27 percent community college transfers. Community college transfers were heavily concentrated in the social science area when compared to the other groups, and, like their senior college transfer classmates, were represented far less in the natural sciences than the UW "natives." Community college transfers rated student-faculty interaction as the area in their department needing the most improvement, and evidenced other feelings of isolation on campus. The most striking difference between community college transfers and other graduates was in respect to future plans; only 27 percent of the community college transfers anticipated going on to graduate school compared to 41 percent of the "natives" and 38 percent of the senior college transfers. Fewer had developed definite career plans, and a significantly greater number expected to obtain employment not leading to a career. (AH) |
