The issue of transfer of credit from two-year to four-year colleges is one of national interest. Recent legislation has focused attention on the topic in Indiana.The purpose of this study was to investigate the continuing education and transfer experiences of a group of recent associate degree graduates from Indiana Vocational Technical College (IVTC). The population used was a sample of 1991 associate degree graduates. Surveys were analyzed from 612 respondents, 87 of whom were enrolled in four-year institutions.Findings included:1. Of the 87 graduates enrolled in four-year institutions, 54 reported that some or all of their credits were accepted in transfer by the receiving institution.2. Out-of-state institutions have accepted more IVTC credits in transfer than in-state institutions.3. Private four-year institutions have accepted more credits in transfer than public institutions.4. There was no significant difference between A.S. and A.A.S. degree holders with credits accepted in transfer.While there were some articulation agreements in place at the time of the study, several of these were between private institutions and IVTC; few were between public institutions. These findings represent a situation that exists for IVTC graduates prior to the development andregard to the number of implementation of widespread articulation agreements between the two-year and four-year public institutions in Indiana. There are numerous implications for further study. It is and importance to IVTC graduates, to the higher education community, the legislature and Commission for Higher Education, and for the citizens of Indiana. / Department of Educational Leadership
