A recent survey by Public Agenda reveals over two-thirds of adult Americans have negative experiences when transferring academic credits. With student mobility rising—projected to reach 1.2 million transfers in 2024—higher education institutions struggle to improve the transfer experience due to poor information transparency. To tackle these issues, Ithaka has launched Transfer Explorer, a public credit mobility website currently in beta. Set to expand in 2025, it aims to provide accurate, updated transfer data through collaboration with several education systems, simplifying the transfer process for students.
Over two-thirds of adult Americans who have attempted to transfer academic credit report having at least one negative experience, according to a recently released survey from Public Agenda.
With 1.2 million students transferring between institutions in 2024—a 4.4 percent increase from 2023—it is more critical than ever to overcome the barriers students face moving academic credit.
To help address these complex challenges, our teams at not-for-profit Ithaka have launched a new national credit mobility website, Transfer Explorer.
Transfer Explorer member schools establish an automated data feed of evaluated course equivalencies, enabling the website to create exploration tools with the most accurate and up-to-date information.
