A new study by National University reveals that interest in credit transfer has been on an upward trajectory since 2021. This variation not only reflects changing student behaviors but also signals a broader shift in how students approach their educational journeys.
Key Takeaways
- From August 2021 to January 2025, search interest for credit transfer for universities increased from an average of 35 to 73 on a scale of 100.
- Students lose 43% of credits on average during transfer.
- Institutions with high credit acceptance rates (>90%) see graduation rates 2.5 times higher than those with lower acceptance rates
Seasonal Patterns
Over the study period, average yearly search interest demonstrated a consistent upward trend. For instance, during the first year (August 2021 to July 2022), the mean search interest hovered around 55, increasing to approximately 60 in the subsequent year and reaching nearly 67 in 2024 and 73 in January 2025. In addition to this year‐over‐year increase, the data also reveals distinct seasonal patterns. Peak search activity routinely occurs in August, while the lowest values are regularly observed in November.
