“Warming Up” In The Developmental Sequence? Upward Transfer Conditional On Dependency Status, Cody Davidson, Kristin B. Wilson
Kentucky Journal of Higher Education Policy and Practice

For dependent students, a father with a college degree, a declared major, and a higher grade point average was positively correlated with upward transfer.
