The Impact of the College Assistance Migrant Program on Migrant Student Academic Achievement in the California State University System
Ramirez, Adrian D.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v11 n1 p3-13 Jan 2012
The 7-year longitudinal study examined the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) impact on migrant student achievement in the California State University system. Participants included migrant students, Latinos, and general student populations from 2002-2009. The analysis of variance and chi-square test of independence were used to explore statistical differences in persistence, 1st-year and cumulative grade point averages, and baccalaureate degree attainment. When compared with other groups, CAMP students were found to have higher academic achievement. (Contains 4 tables.)
