Program Abstract: Completing a STEM major at a 4-year institution can be challenging – especially for the increasing number of students who start their academic journey at a community college. The choices made shortly after graduating from high school can have profound impacts years later, when students learn they have missed a critical prerequisite or taken courses out of sequence, then struggle with a high unit load as they attempt to navigate myriad requirements before their financial aid expires. These roadblocks to degree completion can be eliminated by providing those same students with roadmaps that can help them choose courses at their community college that will facilitate completion of their major after they transfer to a 4-year institution. Come to this session to learn about the roadmaps we developed at California State University, Stanislaus with our community college partners; leave with ideas about how to create roadmaps for your own campus.
