This site presents data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center (NSCRC) on the number of students at public institutions who transferred in the United States and its territories both in-state and out-of-state for the 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014 cohorts. Each cohort of students is made up of first-time students of any age who began their postsecondary studies in one of these years. Cohorts include both full-time and part-time students, and exclude students who received any degree or certificate from a two- or four-year institution prior to 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014 respectively. By design, the data is intended to provide a snapshot of student transfer patterns in the US and its outlying territories. Note that it tracks the first-time transfer only and thus does not reflect the total number of transfers by cohort, given that 45 percent of these students will transfer more than once. For more information on NSCRC methodology, cohort identification, transfer outcome, and small cell suppression click here. If you have questions, check out the FAQs here.
Figure 1: Geographic Distribution of Transfer Students by Selected State
This interactive map shows overall student transfer data for the Fall cohorts of [2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014] for the state of Puerto rico. Transferred out of Puerto rico. Transferred into Puerto rico. Transferred within.
Please mouse-over to the different states to see detailed transfers.
Figure 2: Sector Distribution of Transfer Students by Selected State
Note the results presented on this site are based on guidelines set by NSCRC research practices and data has been suppressed for the following: * Fewer than 3 institutions by entry state and sector ** Fewer than 10 students by state, sector, and year *** Complimentary suppression
^The number for Total Public may be greater than the sum of the cells across the table because it is not subject to suppression. Fields not selected are inicated by a hyphen "-".
