| Abstract: | Washington's statewide transfer framework serves as a national model. This is due to the collaboration between community and technical colleges (CTCs) and baccalaureate institutions who led the creation and implementation of state-specific transfer degrees. In practice, Washington's CTCs award these degrees and baccalaureate institutions accept them. Institutions and sectors created this structure based on a shared commitment to transfer students. They focused on minimizing credit loss and ensuring coursework alignment. As transfer agreements continue to mature--through revision and the creation of specific coursework tied to majors at baccalaureate institutions--the landscape of transfer has become more structured and engaged, involving all public and most private institutions statewide. In recent years, Washington has begun questioning how to holistically define and measure "transfer student success" while centering student experiences. While core structural components exist, more resources are needed to be truly responsive to student needs. State assets have rarely been examined through a lens of change over time. This brief provides insights into the elements of transfer that have historically guided the work. It includes new opportunities for research or assessment to advance future opportunities for transfer students. |
