Transfer Student Accessibility by Matriculation Model FTIC vs. Transfer Students FYE: first-year engineeringDM: direct matriculationPGE: post-general educationFTIC: First-Time-In College The positive effect of persisting to transfer outweighs the negative effect of other barriers transfer students face. Disciplines ranked the same for FTIC and transfer. Transfer students have less disciplinary variation.
