#008 – Transfer Programs in Community Colleges across the country allow students to complete a number of courses that result in a seamless transition into 4-year colleges and universities. On this episode, we describe the different types of transfer programs, and talk about the value they have to offer beyond helping students transition to other institutions. For many students, these programs are a metaphorical academic lifeline and the only way they can get into some of the most popular and respected universities.  We dispel a myth surrounding community colleges, and explore the Transfer Center at East Los Angeles College, one of the most successful in the state of California. We also uncover the many valuable services that this, and other community colleges like it, provide their students. You will surely end the podcast with a renewed appreciation for community colleges and these programs.  You can find the show notes for this episode at https://collegemetropolis.com/8.
