The Community College of Baltimore's Ford Foundation Bridge Project: Summary Status Report.
Baltimore Community Coll., MD.
The Community College of Baltimore's (CCB's) Ford Foundation Bridge Program was designed to improve and extend transfer opportunities in Baltimore by developing a completely articulated Arts and Sciences transfer program extending from five feeder high schools to four receiving baccalaureate institutions, with CCB serving as the "bridge" institution among the 10 participating educational institutions. The major objectives of the project were: (1) the formation of an Advisory Task Force to conduct articulation conferences with the participating institutions to ease transfer of students among the three educational levels; (2) the review, revision, and strengthening of the Arts and Sciences curricula at CCB and the development of formal articulation agreements for the revised programs; and (3) the development of an Arts and Sciences Identification Process to include an early identification of potential Arts and Sciences students at the participating high schools, a high school outreach program, a CCB Arts and Sciences Student Support Team, and improved transfer opportunities to four-year institutions. This report on CCB's Bridge Program includes background information on the school; a discussion of the purpose and objectives of the project; a summary evaluation of the accomplishment of project objectives; a list of other achievements; an overview of changes in the program, resource allocation, and staffing; and a discussion of the institutionalization of the project.
