Book Description
An increasing number of students are engaged in "non-traditional" pathways enrolling at multiple institutions within a system and across segments. These varied patterns were identified decades ago, yet most higher education studies have focused on the "traditional" pathway of students who begin at a community college to transfer to a four-year or students who begin at a four-year right out of high school. This study explores one of these other enrollment patterns, specifically, the reverse transfer phenomenon. Reverse transfer students are those who transfer to a community college from a four-year institution before obtaining a baccalaureate degree. The goal of this study was to construct common themes of the reverse transfer phenomenon using in-depth student interviews. Within these interviews, the protocol was structured to extract how students engage in the college selection process and to better understand how they perceived their higher education journey. Twelve community college students participated in this study at various points of their community college journey after transferring from their original four-year institution. Each interview was used to develop individual student profiles as one part of the analysis process, assisting in the identification of shared themes across participant stories. Students in this study held negative perceptions of the community college when they were in high school, which deterred them from enrolling directly into one. However, their perceptions changed once they enrolled in a community college to redirect their higher education journey. The reasons for enrolling in the community college included financial considerations and exploration of interests. Additionally, the students in this study share a common interest in continuing toward a baccalaureate degree; the community college is not meant to be the end of their schooling.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions and performance of native and community college transfer students at a rural land grant institution. The study included students' perceptions of the following areas: (1) academic and intellectual development; (2) faculty concern of student development and teaching; (3) social integration; (4) goal and institutional commitment; and (5) transfer students' perceptions of their transfer process. The theoretical framework of the study was Tinto's Longitudinal Model of Student Departure. A survey research design was employed in this investigative study to collect and analyze the data. A total of 567 Mississippi State University (MSU) students participated in the research study. An instrument entitled The Student Experience Survey was used to gather the data utilized in the research study. The researcher sought to answer 6 research questions related to participants' perceptions and performance at MSU. To analyze the collected data both a Multivariate of Variance (MANOVA) and an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests were used. Other statistical tests that were utilized in this research study were cross tabulations, descriptive frequencies, and Chi-Square. All results were presented in both descriptive and table forms. Among the major findings of the research study were: (a) there was a significant difference in the grade point averages (GPAs) of university native and community college transfer students, (b) there was a significant relationship between the collegiate GPAs of community college transfer students and their perceptions of specific transfer variables; and (c) there were significant differences in the students' perceptions of the factor variables of academic and intellectual development, faculty concern for student development, social integration, and goal and institutional commitment among university native and community college transfer students.
