Abstract
Pathways are a means to improve student transfer success, but the curricular clarity that defines many pathways programs, while important, is not all that is necessary to make students transfer-ready. After describing pathways programs at the University of Central Florida and Arizona State University, the authors will discuss factors (e.g., purpose; curricular planning; and academic, career, and social preparation) that should be considered by community college and university educators working to prepare students for a successful transition between their institutions, and completion of both associate and bachelor’s degrees.
