Faculty Perspectives on Diploma-Degree Pathways and Student Preparedness

Funded by the Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer (ONCAT), this study investigated faculty perspectives on students’ academic preparedness and social adjustment, as well as their views on the effectiveness of pathways in supporting student’s academic goals and the college’s enrolment objectives. The research focused on three intra-institutional, diploma-degree pathways and combined interviews, an online survey and an analysis of student grades to address the research questions.
