Successful transfer of students from 2‐year colleges to 4‐year institutions is critical to their ultimate success in higher education, particularly in STEM fields. In this project, the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) and Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) planned and held two national convenings, organized as Action Labs, of selected community college/four‐year institution partnerships from six states. The partners were focused on developing effective models for STEM student transfer success. They emphasized holistic program models that go beyond coursework articulation agreements and build partnerships, programmatic alignment, and community. The presentation will report on findings, including key features of replicable and scalable models for STEM student success, emphasizing general education and entry into STEM baccalaureate programs.
