During the 1986-87 academic year, 1,115 high school seniors participated in the College Now (CN) program of New York's Kingsborough Community College. A study was undertaken to assess the academic progress of the 463 students who subsequently enrolled in any City University of New York (CUNY) college during the fall of 1987. To determine differences in choice of CUNY college, the study compared the enrollment patterns of the CN students to the other 24,936 first-time freshmen. In addition, outcomes for CN alumni were compared to outcomes of an equal random sample of first-time freshman who had not participated in the program. Study findings indicated the following: (1) 69.3% of the CN alumni entered into a senior CUNY college and, while only 54% of other first-time freshmen did so; (2) CN students were much more likely than other first-time freshmen to continue their studies for a second (95% vs. 81.6%) and third (83.2% vs. 64.1%) semester; (3) CN students required less remediation and advanced more rapidly, earning 18.6 degree credits at the end of their first year compared to 12.2 for other first-time freshmen; (4) CN students were 20% more likely to enter a BA program than other first-time freshmen and were less likely to enroll part-time; and (5) CN alumni passed an average of 2 out of 3 skills tests, compared to an average of 1.4 tests for other students. (Data tables and comments from respondents to a 1990 survey of 2,400 CN alumni are included.) (KP)
