Researchers have consistently attested that those who earn a college degree experience numerous personal and professional benefits that can greatly influence their lives. Degree completion has been linked to multiple individual benefits including financial benefits, overall health benefits, increased civic engagement, social mobility, and overall job satisfaction (Baum, Ma, & Payea, 2013). In addition to the benefits indicated in the research, degree completion has also become more important than ever as institutions of higher education work to respond to President Barack Obama’s administration completion agenda which set a goal to increase the nation’s degree attainment rate to 60% by 2020 (Kanter, Ochoa, Nassif, & Chong, 2011), and adding at least “...10 million more graduates from community colleges and four year colleges and universities” (Kanter et al., 2011).

The new reverse transfer is defined as students who transfer from a two-year college to a four-year institution and retroactively receive an associate’s degree with their newly earned four-year college credits (Friedel & Wilson, 2015).
