Maricopa Students Transferring to Universities
Outside the Arizona Transfer System

Maricopa Community Colleges are able to report regularly about student transfer to the three state universities.   It has been much more challenging to collect information about where Maricopa students transfer outside the statewide transfer system.  A recent evaluation conducted by the Center for Curriculum and Transfer Articulation (CCTA) provides preliminary data about transfer to other university partner institutions.

Fourteen universities with formal Maricopa transfer agreements provided enrollment statistics for students who had transferred one or more credits from a Maricopa Community College.  The chart below shows the results reported for Fall 2007 undergraduate enrollment.  The CCTA continues to refine an annual reporting system for transfer partners. Access the full report

Fall 2007 Undergraduate Enrollments:
* students who transferred credits from a Maricopa Community College
University of Phoenix 2708
Ottawa University 1491
Grand Canyon University 666
DeVry University-Phoenix 268
Western International University 188
Prescott College 62
Ashford University 61
Utah State University 40
Regis University 10
University of the Incarnate Word 6
California University of Pennsylvania 5
Jones International University 3
Columbus College of Art and Design 2
Franklin University 1
TOTAL 5511
Data submitted by some of the institutions is “duplicated”, meaning that students who transferred credits from more than one community college are counted twice. Thus, the total overestimates the actual.
