New to this edition are profiles and advice about online bachelor's program options. We'll show you what makes a student successful during the admissions, transfer, and enrollment processes, and how to achieve that success in your own transfer.

"The Kaplan Educational Foundation's Transfer Guide proves that Kaplan gets it. They truly understand both the challenges facing transfer students and the value these students bring to transfer institutions. I see this guide as a roadmap for transfer students and their families as they navigate the complexities of finding a right-fit transfer institution. I also see this guide as a resource for educators who are looking for new and better ways to meet the unique needs of transfer students." - Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society "The go-to guide for students planning their transfer pathway. ...] This second edition has been updated cover-to-cover to provide timely resources." - Giuseppe Basili Executive Director, Jack Kent Cooke Foundation |
