| Abstract | Factors that affect the attainment of a bachelor's degree by urban students are outlined. The demographic profile of American school children makes it clear that problems for urban colleges and universities will grow in the years ahead. There is a correlation between income and education achievement; low income students do not achieve, persist, or complete programs of study in the same proportion as middle or upper income students. The public urban universities and community colleges must deal with the situation and have placed considerable emphasis on establishing a supportive environment for minority students and on providing academic support to underprepared students. Policies and activities that can enhance transfer of community college students into upper division programs include: (1) university scholarships for transfer students; (2) reserved dormitory space for mid-year transfers; (3) coordination of veterans' benefits; (4) joint faculty events and counseling exchanges; and (5) dual enrollment, where a transfer student is paired with a peer for easier adjustment.
