| Abstract | A study was conducted at the Trumbull Campus of Ohio's Kent State University (KSU) to gather data on the motivations and characteristics of students who transferred from the campus. A sample was developed from the 423 students who requested transcript forms in 1992 and 1993, as well as 50 students identified as having transferred to KSU's Kent Campus. Telephone interviews were conducted with 61 of the students who requested transcripts, while written surveys were received from another 23. In addition, surveys were obtained from 13 of the Kent transfers, resulting in a total sample population of 97 students. Study results included the following: (1) the institution receiving the highest number of transfers was Youngstown State University, receiving 28 students; (2) with respect to their experience at the Trumbull Campus, the majority of respondents indicated satisfaction with programs and services, indicating that students primarily transferred to access upper division courses and bachelor degree programs; (3) of the students who transferred to KSU's Kent Campus, almost half indicated that they had not originally intended to transfer there; and (4) 33% of these students had received an associate degree before transfer. Recommendations formed based on results included expanding upper division course offerings to delay student transfer from the college; exploring ways to expand child care and placement services; clarifying the regional campuses' role within KSU, focusing on improving acceptance of Kent Trumbull coursework at the main campus and providing easily accessible advising; and increasing electronic linkage between campuses. Data tables and student comments are included. (KP) |
