FROSTBURG — Frostburg State University has joined the inaugural cohort of the new Maryland Statewide Transfer Intensive, a project led in partnership with the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program and the Maryland Higher Education Commission, and supported by the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, designed to significantly improve community college transfer outcomes.
Over the next seven years, FSU will work alongside 24 other Maryland institutions to improve data tracking and institutional practices related to transfer student success; develop new strategies and programs that make transferring simpler, more equitable and more effective; and engage leadership across both two-year and four-year institutions to prioritize transfer student outcomes.
“Joining the Maryland Transfer Intensive reflects Frostburg’s dedication to supporting students from all backgrounds in reaching their academic goals, strengthening Maryland’s workforce and helping the state rise to number one in higher education,” said interim president Darlene Brannigan Smith.
