“…Xueli (2012) reported race, socioeconomic status, high school test scores, self-concept, full-time enrollment, continuous enrollment, marital, and parental status as influential factors in the vertical integration of community college students. Johnson, Taylor, and Owens (1994) supported the role of community colleges as a component of agricultural education and forecasted the sizable impact they would have on American higher education.

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument that can be used to identify factors that influence the success of vertical transfer students in agricultural education. The specific objectives of this study were: identify perceived factors that influence the bachelor's degree attainment of vertical transfer students in agricultural education, and identify trends which impact students' completion of a bachelor's degree in agricultural education transfer students. The framework of this study is based on a union of the Schlossberg's Transition Theory (1981) and Rendón's Validation Theory (1994). The expert panel consisted of ten participants identified as leaders in post-secondary agriscience education. The findings of this study identified factors that are most influential to the bachelor's degree attainment of vertical transfer students in agricultural education. Student attendance and preparation for class were indicated as significant factors influencing persistence to graduation. Courses that are designed to be engaging and present real-life applications promote degree completion were found to be of importance to bachelor's degree completion. Faculty members have a significant role in the successful degree completion of vertical transfer students by developing engaging courses, presenting real-life applications for classroom material, and allowing for meaning relationships to be established with vertical transfer students.

This study was designed to examine perseverance levels of agricultural education educators. The study design was descriptive and correlational with data collected using a written questionnaire that was mailed to a stratified, systemic sample drawn from a nationwide population. T-tests and analysis of variance were conducted to examine mean cumulative perseverance score by educational attainment and personal characteristics. Overall, agricultural educators indicated high levels of perseverance. Mean cumulative perseverance scores of agricultural educators did not differ by attainment of degree. Mean cumulative perseverance scores of agricultural educators did not differ by gender, status of enrollment, hours worked per week while a student, dependents, single parent status, or method of payment for most recent degree. Perseverance was not found to be a personality trait that distinguished educational attainment of agricultural educators.
