A STEM program focused on transfer student success at Binghamton university

Some transfer students have significant challenges in adapting to the pace and depth of a competitive four-year University. According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, only 60% of transfer students from community colleges have earned their baccalaureate degree four years after transferring. In this paper, we present our program designed to increase the success rate of transfer students. Our goal is to continue Binghamton University's tradition of providing an effective collegiate learning environment for all, and particularly, to increase the success rate of the transfer students in STEM fields.
