UWS New Transfer Students:Campus-Specific Behavior The largest source of in-state new transfer activity
is from Milwaukee Area Technical College to UW-Milwaukee (359).
The second largest source of in-state new transfer activity is from Madison Area Technical College to UW-Madison (256).
The third largest source of in-state new transfer activity is from UW-Waukesha to UW-Milwaukee (205).
Overall, WTCS students transfer most frequently to UW-Milwaukee (493) and to the UW Colleges (470).

Highlights of 2001-02 Compared to other transfer students, transfer
students from WTCS enter with fewer credits, are older and are more likely to enroll on a part-time basis.
Compared to WTCS non-college parallel students, college parallel students transfer in more credits, are younger, are more likely to enroll on a full-time basis, and are slightly more racially diverse.
Average 1st year GPAs for WTCS transfer students (2.9) are slightly below those of other transfers (3.0).

Background:JACAP’s Recommendations
Establish a WTCS/UW Program Assessment Design Working Group
Develop a Data Sharing Agreement Design an appropriate reporting mechanism
for program assessment and improvement Measure the success of programs that have
articulation agreements Report annually to JACAP
![Page 11: WTCS Transfers to the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin System Office of Policy Analysis and Research October 24, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dba5503460f94aab5ce/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Assessment Approach Establish a baseline for future assessment of
student enrollment between WTCS and UW Identify current level of student movement
from WTCS to UWS prior to new systemwide articulation agreements
New this year: Additional cohorts (beyond 1995 cohort) Student outcomes within specific programs;
ex. GPAs and retention rates

WTCS to UWS Enrollment Over 27,000 students attended a WTCS
district in fiscal years 1994-95 through 2000-01 and subsequently enrolled at a UW campus.
Of these 27,000 students: Almost half (47%) enrolled in the UWS the
following year after leaving WTCS. 15% waited 1 year before enrolling at a UW 9% waited 2 years before enrolling at a UW 7% waited 3 years before enrolling at a UW 5% waited 4 years before enrolling at a UW

![Page 19: WTCS Transfers to the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin System Office of Policy Analysis and Research October 24, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dba5503460f94aab5ce/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Program to Program Comparisons The largest number of students (19%) were
from the WTCS Humanities/Liberal Arts program group (primarily WTCS College Parallel students).
These college parallel students entered a wide variety of UW majors: led by majors in the Education, Social Sciences, and Business areas.
Overall, areas of significant program intersection included Business, Health Professions, and Engineering & Architecture.
Overall, over half (58%) of the students did not have a declared UW major.

Nursing Between 1994 and 2000, over 640 students
started out in a WTCS nursing associate degree program and later enrolled at a UW.
A growing number of nursing students came to the UWS in the year immediately following their WTCS enrollment.
Despite this trend, a significant number of WTCS nursing students wait several years before enrolling at a UW.

Almost 60% of these students came to the UWS in the year immediately following their WTCS enrollment.
Of those with a declared UWS major, the majority entered the education field at the UW.
![Page 27: WTCS Transfers to the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin System Office of Policy Analysis and Research October 24, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dba5503460f94aab5ce/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Of those with a declared UWS major, over half (54%) went into either Business or Math, Computer & Information Sciences.
![Page 28: WTCS Transfers to the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin System Office of Policy Analysis and Research October 24, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dba5503460f94aab5ce/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 30: WTCS Transfers to the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin System Office of Policy Analysis and Research October 24, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dba5503460f94aab5ce/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Summary Studies of “Transfer” students capture about half
of the student movement from WTCS to the UW. Of the students who come to the UWS after
attending a WTCS, almost half enroll in the year immediately following their last WTCS year. One quarter wait 1-2 years before enrolling at a UW. And another quarter wait 3 or more years before enrolling at a UW.
While the largest number of students come to the UW from a WTCS associate degree occupational program, one-tenth come from WTCS technical diploma programs.
![Page 31: WTCS Transfers to the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin System Office of Policy Analysis and Research October 24, 2002.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dba5503460f94aab5ce/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Summary (cont.) A growing proportion of students from
WTCS enter the UWS as freshmen. Students who entered the UWS as
sophomores or upperclassmen had slightly higher retention rates than those who entered as freshmen.
Program specific information has been provided to assist in the development and evaluation of articulation agreements.
