<p>This is a study of post-secondary level educational transitions in Belarus and the three Baltic countries. Tertiary - or post-secondary level education - in the former Soviet Union consisted of three distinct types: vocational preparation, specialized college, and conventional higher (university) education. This study of the transition from second- to third-level education is based on the second follow-up survey of secondary-school leavers which was carried out in 1993 in these four countries as part of the Paths of a Generation study. The data analyses, using logistic regression, yielded the following results. The different types of secondary education are highly stratified at the level of educational provision, social class recruitment, and the subsequent educational careers of their graduates. The extent of standardization and centralization in the older Soviet educational system has resulted in little institutional variation amongst the four countries. However, there are significant cross-national differences. Despite very strong social origin effects on secondary school tracking, social origin is a very important factor predicting the probability of transition to university.</p>
