Reverse credit transfer (RCT) is an emerging policy designed to award associate’s degrees to students who transfer from 2-year to 4-year colleges after transfer. The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of RCT degree receipt on students’ university and labor outcomes using data from Texas, where the legislature passed RCT policy in 2011. We find that posttransfer associate’s degree recipients are significantly more likely to persist and attain in universities compared to their peers who were eligible for RCT but did not receive the degree, and these benefits are often larger for students from populations historically marginalized from higher education. However, these estimates are suggestive given the potential of self-selection biasing the estimates upward, and the results are sensitive to moderate bias from unobserved variables. We find limited evidence of additional benefit of these associate’s degrees, which are largely academic and transfer-oriented degrees, on labor outcomes.

检查反向学分转移的教育和就业成果

反向学分转移(RCT)是一项新兴政策,旨在向转学后从2年制大学过渡到4年制大学的学生授予副学士学位。这项研究的目的是使用得克萨斯州的数据来估算RCT学位接收对学生的大学和劳动成果的影响,德克萨斯州的立法机构在2011年通过了RCT政策。我们发现,转职后副学士学位的获得者更有可能坚持并获得在大学中,与有资格获得RCT但未获得学位的同龄人相比,这些收益通常对那些在历史上被高等教育边缘化的人群来说更大。但是,考虑到自我选择可能会使估计值偏向上方,因此这些估计值具有启发性,并且结果对未观察到的变量的中等偏向敏感。
