Adult Education Transition Programs: A Return to Community College Access
Humpherys, Bryce; Acker-Hocevar, Michele
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v36 n9 p733-737 2012
As community colleges face increasingly tight budgets and calls for a renewed focus on improving student outcomes in the form of graduation rates, colleges must address the concept of access. How much access to higher education can they continue to provide low-skilled students in adult education and similar programs? One way to ensure access to these students is through formalized transition to college programs. The authors summarize characteristics of two transition program models and introduce research at a community college that evaluated the effectiveness of three characteristics in the models.
