This chapter discusses the different methodological perspectives of the research done on transfer students. Documents from the ERIC database and journal articles are used to answer the questions, Who is conducting research? What methods are being used to gather information? and What types of data are being collected on transfer students? Finally, this chapter presents examples of studies that have implications for researchers and other stakeholders and can be adapted at the institutional level.
