For the 1989 1990 cohort of students assessed in 1994, the NCES study found, in general, that 25 percent of community college students indicated in their responses that they were working toward bachelor's degrees, and 39 percent of these students had transferred directly to four-year institutions by 1994. Of community college students identified as prospective transfers, those who were enrolled full time in their first year of community college were about twice as likely to transfer to four-year institutions within five years.

The bachelor's degree attainment rate was much higher among the minority of community college transfers who had completed associate degrees before transferring: 43 percent had received bachelor's degrees by 1994 compared with 17 percent of those who had transferred with no credential (McCormick and Carroll, 1997)
