Impact of Increased Academic Intensity on Transfer Rates: An Application of Matching Estimators to Student-Unit Record Data (2009, background): “There is a voluminous literature on transfer rates (Wassmer et al. 2004; Bradburn and Hurst 2001; Grubb 1991; Anderson et al. 2006; Dougherty and Kienzl 2006; Cheslock 2005; Shulock and Moore 2005; Light and Stray er 2004; Wassmer et al. 2004; Bailey and Weininger 2002; Surette 2001; Bradburn and Hu”
Hispanic Student Success: Factors Influencing the Persistence and Transfer Decisions of Latino Community College Students Enrolled in Developmental Education (2010, background): “The impact of pre-college academic preparation has also been found to be related to persistence and/or successful transfer among community college students (e.g., Wassmer et al. 2004) as well as for Hispanic students enrolled at the community college level (e.g., Arbona and Nora 2007; Suarez 2003).”
The Influence of Academic and Environmental Factors on Hispanic College Degree Attainment (2007, background): “…students who exhibit two indicators of academic integration—enrolling full-time, and attending college continuously—show higher levels of persistence and graduation rates than their peers with less traditional attendance patterns (Barkner, He Catalsi, & Keppner, 2002; Wassmer et al., 2004).”
Cooling Out in the Community College: What is the Effect of Academic Advising on Students’ Chances of Success? (2008, background): “On the other hand, it parallels work presented by Wassmer et al. (2004) concerning the effect of Hispanic composition on institutional transfer rates.”
The Bird’s Eye View of Community Colleges: A Behavioral Typology of First-Time Students Based on Cluster Analytic Classification (2010, background): “For example, there is an enduring debate in the literature concerning how one may identify a ‘‘transfer-seeking’’ student (Bradburn and Hurst 2001; Wassmer et al. 2004; Townsend 2002).”
The Multiple Dimensions of Transfer: Examining the Transfer Function in American Higher Education (2017, methodology): “In an analysis of data from the California Community College System, Wassmer, Moore, and Shulock (2004) found that community colleges with higher Latinx or African American student populations had lower transfer rates, even after controlling for students’ academic preparation and socioeconomic statu”
Increasing Success Rates in Developmental Math: The Complementary Role of Individual and Institutional Characteristics (2015, background): “Wassmer et al. (2004) examined the effect of student composition on transfer rates in community colleges and found that colleges serving a larger proportion of students with a higher socioeconomic status and with better academic preparation have higher transfer rates.”
Effects of Exposure to Part-time Faculty on Community College Transfer (2008, methodology): “Still another method was used by Wassmer et al. (2004), as the authors set a threshold of 12 units (not necessarily transferrable units) as well as completion of at least on transferable math or English course.”
