The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $642,659 project grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation on August 1, 2024. The goal of this 5-year project is to produce new knowledge that will address barriers and guide efforts to transform university structures, policies, and practices to foster success among community college transfer students in computer science.
The research will engage a mixed methods approach, drawing on longitudinal survey and interview data from computer science transfer students and university faculty/staff across six campuses in the California State University system. The quantitative stream will analyze student survey and registrar data, while the qualitative stream will use phenomenological methods to understand the structures, policies, and practices shaping transfer student trajectories. Two sub-awards were made to North Carolina State University and Utah State University to support this project.
