Better understanding of how students achieve vertical transfer is vital for advancing equity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors. Among the many sources barriers, delays, complexities demonstrated previous research as influencing outcomes, admission process has been generally neglected. Using a longitudinal, qualitative design, drawing on capital field theories, this study investigated community college who are underrepresented STEM fields successfully navigated...
The transfer pathway from community college to university holds promise for advancing equity in STEM because it is followed by disproportionately high numbers of underrepresented students. Among the challenges these students face cultivating belonging multiple institutional settings. By combining and validation theories, this qualitative study investigated how students’ developed their majors, highlighting differences between who transferred those began as first-time (FTIC) findings revealed...
