Community colleges seek to improve transfer rates

Will boost outcomes for low-income, minority students

Community colleges throughout Maricopa County have joined a brand-new pilot program dedicated to boosting education outcomes for students of color and those from low-income backgrounds.

All 10 colleges in the Maricopa County Community College District have enrolled in TransferBOOST to ensure all students can easily and affordably transfer to a fouryear university and graduate with their bachelor’s degree.

The multiyear initiative promises to do the following for students: their credits earned at one institution will transfer and apply to a bachelor’s degree completion, their costs will be streamlined, and their time-to-degree will be minimized.
