Journal of the First Year Experience



We now subscribe to the Journal of The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition. The first issue will be arriving soon.

 This journal is a semiannual refereed journal providing current research on the first college year and other significant student transitions. The primary purpose of the Journal is to disseminate empirical research findings on student transition issues that inform practice in all sectors of post-secondary education, such as
• Explorations into the academic, personal, and social experiences (including outcomes related to success, learning, and development) of students at a range of transition points throughout the college years. These transitions include, but are not limited to, the first college year, the transfer transition, the sophomore year, the senior year and transition out of college, and the transition to graduate work.
• Transition issues unique to specific populations (e.g., non-traditional, traditional, historically underrepresented students, transfer students, commuters, part-time students)
• Explorations of faculty development, curriculum, and pedagogical innovations connected to any of the transitions identified above.The Journal is indexed by ERIC.
