Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.), Franklin University, Business Administration.
This dissertation is a quantitative research study designed to investigate the influence of articulation agreements on completion of a baccalaureate degree by community college transfer students holding an associate degree. The research study examined the relationship between four variables (age, gender, associate degree completion, and transfer student type) based on an articulation agreement with the originating school. The use of quantitative research methods, particularly logistic regression, chi-squared analyses, and Fisher’s Exact Test examined the relationships between variables seeking effect of articulation agreements based on the Theory of planned behavior, expectancy-value theory, social cognitive theory, and achievement goal theory regarding student expectations for bachelor's degree completion. The research study did not find a statistically significant correlation between articulated status of transfer students, age, or gender and bachelor's degree completion. A positive correlation between associate degree completion and bachelor's degree completion was found for these students at the target institution. Students with an associate degree had 1.94 times higher odds of completing the bachelors’ degree.
