Eduventures’ Transfer Student Research is based on a national sample of current undergraduate students derived from an online panel of students across the country. Invitations were distributed via email; this survey has been conducted over several separate years beginning in 2019. Results are displayed in the Encoura Platform and can be filtered for a particular year.
Our Transfer Student Research is released each year in summer and is available in the Encoura Platform.
