Many students who start at the community college with the intention of transferring and earning a baccalaureate degree fail to accomplish this goal. This study, using IPA methodology, explored the experiences of seven community college transfer students currently enrolled at a public 4-year institution to identify how community college transfer students navigate successful completion of a bachelor's degree. Findings of this study show that these participants depend on internal and outside resources for information, decision-making, motivation and support to persist along this pathway. Critical in the transfer pathway is to establish college and career goals, and then to persist as a result of committing to such goals. Participants experienced both times of struggle as well as enjoyable times. While lacking in social integration at the community college, transfer students found financial and preparatory value in attending. Transitioning to a new institution is difficult, but mediated with preparation, information and support. Contributing to a successful transition is an intense orientation particularly for community college transfer students. Once at the 4-year institution, students experience a rich social integration and a more intense sense of belonging. Support and information from peers, family, faculty and staff along the entire pathway is essential. Findings from this study suggest that students may benefit from ample information such as that regarding transfer pathways between institutions, having exposure to the post-transfer institution prior to transfer such as meeting faculty and staff on campus visits, and providing extensive supportive resources with accessible, caring faculty and staff as well as tutoring and study group opportunities.
