Transfer Students in Science Majors: Would you like to talk about your transfer experience at the university?

Posted on by

This is a research project about transfer students from a community college; I am asking students about their transfer experience to the university.

To participate, the requirements are: 1) You are a prior community college student who completed either an AGEC or an Associate of Science at a community college. 2) You are enrolled in a Science major at the UA. 3) You must have completed at least ONE semester (with graded units) at the UA. 4) You must be over 18 years old.

Participation consists of an interview of about ten questions about your college transfer experience, and completing a short survey. The interview is designed to take about 30 minutes, and can be done on campus at a time and location convenient for you during January and February 2013.

You will be compensated for your participation at the time of the interview.

If you are at all interested in participating, please reply to Ruthann at rtcoyote@email.arizona.edu or call me at (520) 256-0441 immediately. Replying does not fully commit you; it simply indicates your interest. I anticipate that possibly more students will want to participate than I will be able to accommodate, so interviews will be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

An Institutional Review Board responsible for human subjects research at The University of Arizona reviewed this research project and found it to be acceptable, according to applicable state and federal regulations and University policies designed to protect the rights and welfare of participants in research.

Thank you so much for considering being part of this research!
