Overview
Pathways to Academic Success in Higher Education examines two major challenges facing the nation. The first is preparing high school students for college, a reform that has been tackled largely through state policy initiatives. The second is creating new pathways to academic success for underrepresented students in higher education, a challenge that must be addressed within a decentralized system of higher education.
Part one: Presents and documents key findings from research on K-12 education policy.
Part two: Provides action research using a state data system to inform colleges and universities.
Part three: Focuses on the future of policy and organizational initiatives to improve opportunity.
This book integrates studies conducted over nearly a decade and offers guidance on how best to understand and promote retention and success once students have gained access.
Edward P. St. John is Algo D. Henderson Collegiate Professor of Higher Education at the University of Michigan.
Glenda Droogsma Musoba is Assistant Professor of Higher Education at Florida International University.
