Despite decades of substantial investments by the federal
government, state governments, colleges and universities, and
private foundations, students from low-income families as well as
racial and ethnic minority groups continue to have substantially
lower levels of postsecondary educational attainment than
individuals from other groups. The State of College Access and
Completion draws together leading researchers nationwide to
summarize the state of college access and success and to provide
recommendations for how institutional leaders and policymakers can
effectively improve the entire spectrum of college access and
completion. Springboarding from a seminar series organized by the
Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, chapter authors
explore what is known and not known from existing research about
how to improve student success. This much-needed book calls
explicit attention to the state of college access and success not
only for traditional college-age students, but also for the
substantial and growing number of "nontraditional" students.
Describing trends in various outcomes along the pathway from
college access to completion, this volume documents persisting gaps
in outcomes based on students' demographic characteristics and
offers recommendations for strategies to raise student attainment.
Graduate students, scholars, and researchers in higher education
will find The State of College Access and Completion to be an
important and timely resource.
