What is the source for tracking Carroll transfers to Maryland Public four-year colleges and universities?
The source is Performance of Maryland Community College Transfer Students at Public Four-year Campuses published annually by the Maryland Higher Education Commission. The data may underestimate the number and percentage of students who have earned a bachelor’s degree, since only graduation from the first institution to which a community college student transferred is reported. Students who moved on to another campus and graduated are not reflected in these data. The data are part of the Transfer Student System (TSS); transfer entrants are identified by the reporting four-year campus as students transferring in a minimum of 12 credit hours and listing Carroll Community College as the last institution they attended prior to transfer. Since some students transfer with fewer than 12 credits applicable to their baccalaureate degree, total transfers are undercounted.
