term.Eventually, the decision between a 2-year and a 4-year degree depends on individualcircumstances, including career aspirations, financial resources, and personal preferences. Somestudents may opt for a 2-year degree as a stepping stone to further education, while others maychoose to pursue a 4-year degree for a more comprehensive and well-rounded academicexperience.References:[1] J.

concentrated on particular disadvantaged populations, they become aninequity built into societal structure; that is, they constitute a structural inequity. In the case of themarket for used cars, much has been done since the 1970’s to mitigate structural inequity, and wecan certainly learn from them in addressing inequities in the transfer student market.2.1 Expert Verification and HistoryA major contributing factor to information asymmetry in the used car market is the fact that carsare highly complex mechanical structures, making it exceedingly difficult for non-experts to assesstheir quality. One method buyers have for dealing with this is through expert verification, namely,by having a trained mechanic inspect a car prior to purchasing it.We

as the most important sources of informationthough at least two students commented there was not enough information and they did their ownindependent research.We also asked students to comment on what they found to be the biggest challenge(s) during thetransfer process and specifically what would have helped in overcoming those challenges. By farthe most commonly mentioned reason was being unsure which classes would transfer from 2-yearto 4-year colleges, and understanding what the transfer prerequisites were. Some studentsmentioned that they attended multiple 2-year colleges and had greater difficulty figuring out whatclasses would and would not count toward their 4-year degree.A majority of post-transfer students (68%) reported having an
