Implications
•Almost 1/3 of the graduates indicated a
preference for job placement assistance
 to the extend that these services are
provided they may need to be better
advertised
•Only 22% of graduates that transferred indicated
UC. 72% of graduates transferring to a UC were
White or Asian, compared with 59% for CSU (see
full report).
targeted “in-reach” efforts might help inform
students of opportunities for transfer to UC
