. For the second straight year, students who transferred from East Central Communi– ty College to four-year institutions earned the highest cumulative grade point average of all community college transfers in Mississip– pi. Students who trans– ferred from East Cen– tral to one of the state's eight public, four-year institutions earned a 3.22 GPA, according to data released from the state College Board. Students from the community/junior col– lege with the second highest GPA earned a 3.21. The average for all 15 community colleges combined was a 3.13 GPA. The report also again showed that com– munity college transfer students performed academically as well or better in university courses than students who began their educa– tion at the senior in– stitutions. The "native" ,students earned a 3.10 GPA.
