International students are increasingly enrolling in U.S community colleges as a starting point to their higher education. However, limited research examines the factors contributing to their successful transfer to a 4-year institution and bachelor degree attainment. Utilizing longitudinal transcript data from a large community college district in Texas, this study uses hierarchical logistical regression to compare college experiences and transfer outcomes based on region of origin. Findings demonstrate that while Sub-Saharan African students have a significantly higher probability of transfer than Asian and Latin American students, the majority of bachelor degree recipients were Asian students graduating in STEM fields. Delayed enrollment into college and academic preparedness in math were negatively associated with transfer for Latin American and Caribbean students.

Undergraduate Performance

From multivariate descriptions of undergraduates, seven success patterns and five nonsuccess patterns are identified as prevalent types of student performance in one college community. The discriminant functions underlying these two typologies partially substantiate the dimensions in Clark and Trow’s typology of college student subcultures. Students categorized into the twelve types show significant differences in demographic characteristics, admissions credentials, college performance, and post-college plans. Quantified admissions data favor some types of students over others. The results suggest that colleges present students with a complexity of subenvironments, each of which emphasizes and rewards different patterns of behavior.

College Plans

Even as California increases the presence of Latino students in its public university systems, the net college-going rates for the group have fallen off markedly. To understand the decision process, this study examines Chicano students in one large high school. In particular, the effect of cost on demand was sought by using a survey of graduating seniors. Logistic regressions on college plans revealed differential effects of estimated cost, depending on ethnicity and language background. For the children of Spanish-speaking parents, costs were largely determinant of college plans, whereas they were not for the children of English speakers. Significantly, it was the children of Spanish speakers who had the highest and most unrealistic estimates of college tuition.
