Description

This initiative, co-sponsored by the Teagle Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, aims to expand and streamline transfer pathways for students moving from community colleges to independent (private, nonprofit) four-year liberal arts colleges. The program supports the development of statewide, regional, or consortial frameworks to clarify and facilitate the transfer process, ensuring that students—especially those from historically underserved backgrounds—can efficiently complete a baccalaureate degree in the liberal arts. Projects must focus on collaborative approaches that address curricular alignment, credit transferability, and student advising, thereby reducing barriers and increasing successful transfer and graduation rates.
