| Summary: | This report is based on the records of 23,470 students who earned a bachelor's degree as graduates of the Class of 2016. The study population includes all students who earned a degree from one of the six public baccalaureate institutions or from one of the 16 community and technical colleges that offer an applied bachelor's degree for whom transcript, demographic, and degree attainment data were available. The study excludes international students, students without enough identifiable data in their record to create a match to the CTC system, and students not found in the Mutual Research Transcript Exchange (MRTE+) who earned a degree. The study examines the graduating class of the public bachelor's degrees in 2015-16 (by gender, ethnicity, age, degree major, and institution type). Specifically, the study examines graduates in five parts: (1) By Campus Type -- What was the make-up of graduates at main campuses, additional research university campuses (additional RU Campuses), university centers and community and technical colleges? (2) By Transfer Status -- How many bachelor's degree graduates entered four-year colleges directly? How many transferred from a Washington CTC? How many came through other paths? (3) By Pre-college Enrollments -- What was the role of CTC pre-college English and math in preparing transfers and direct entry students to graduate with the bachelor's degree in 2016? (4) By Running Start Status -- What was the role of CTC Running Start in preparing transfers and direct entry students to graduate with the bachelor's degree in 2016? and (5) By Transfer Paths -- What were the different transfer pathways delineated by the type of two-year degree CTC students received? How do these different pathways contribute to different bachelor's degree majors? How well do CTC transfer students perform compared to direct entry students on total credits earned to complete their bachelor's degree and senior year GPAs? |
