High School-to-College Transition Project

In an effort to improve programs that help students transition to college, CELL is conducting a three-year policy study of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and dual credit programs. The High School-to-College Transition Project examines state and institutional policies that can be improved to help Indiana high school students with successful college careers. The study will review 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 utilizes an advisory committee comprised of Indiana state officials, school district administrators and higher education leaders. The American Youth Policy Forum based in Washington, D.C. also has been contracted to assist with the project. The study will last through September 2010 and is funded through a grant from Lumina Foundation for Education.
