High School-to-College Transition Project

In an effort to improve programs that help students transition to college, CELL recently concluded a three-year policy study of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and dual credit programs. The High School-to-College Transition Project examined state and institutional policies that could be improved to help Indiana high school students with successful college careers. The study reviewed such factors as accessibility, costs and funding, curriculum development, teacher selection and training, public awareness, and government statutes and guidelines to develop policy improvement recommendations and advocacy efforts.

The project utilized an advisory committee comprising Indiana state officials, school district administrators and higher education leaders. The American Youth Policy Forum based in Washington, D.C. also assisted with the project. The study, funded through a grant from Lumina Foundation for Education, ended in September 2010.
