Which methods for data collection and analysis would best provide a measure ofsuccess for a community college transfer program? Can methods be developed that would scaleand easily be implemented at other community colleges? The proposed work could includesurveys, questionnaires, interviews, registration information, and data from state or nationaldatabases.
