Bill and the community college transfer function. The authors align a wide constellation of higher education trendsonline learning, prior learning assessment, competency-based learning, high school college-credit with a rapidly shifting student transfer environment that privileges college credit as the pivotal educational catalyst to boost access and completion. The books agenda seeks greater productive investment in postsecondary education by privileging a single metriclower-cost-per-degree-grantedas the animating driver of a transfer pathway that will fulfill the potential of its historical, progressive innovators.
