This book was released on 2004 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten-year trends in the retention, transfer, and graduation of first-time, full-time Maryland public community college students are presented in this report. Tables track students two, three, and four years after matriculation and are broken down by gender and ethnic categories. When considering this data, it must be remembered that retention, transfer, and graduation rates provide important, but narrowly defined, measures of success at community colleges. In recent years, community colleges have expanded their missions, enrolling increasing numbers of students with goals other than earning credentials or transferring.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this analysis was to examine the persistence, graduation and transfer rates for the recipients of an Educational Assistance Grant (EAG) or Guaranteed Access Grant (GAG) at Maryland public colleges and universities compared to students at these campuses who did not receive either of these awards. The report focuses on new full-time freshmen who received an EAG or GAG award and were enrolled at a Maryland public college or university during the 1996-1997 academic year. Students receiving an EAG or a GAG award were examined and compared to those who did not receive an award at all. The report looks at the following: (1) Community College Students; and (2) Public Four-Year Students. (Contains 12 tables.).

Book excerpt: The debate over affirmative action has raged for over four decades, with little give on either side. Most agree that it began as noble effort to jump-start racial integration; many believe it devolved into a patently unfair system of quotas and concealment. Now, with the Supreme Court set to rule on a case that could sharply curtail the use of racial preferences in American universities, law professor Richard Sander and legal journalist Stuart Taylor offer a definitive account of what affirmative action has become, showing that while the objective is laudable, the effects have been anything but. Sander and Taylor have long admired affirmative action's original goals, but after many years of studying racial preferences, they have reached a controversial but undeniable conclusion: that preferences hurt underrepresented minorities far more than they help them. At the heart of affirmative action's failure is a simple phenomenon called mismatch. Using dramatic new data and numerous interviews with affected former students and university officials of color, the authors show how racial preferences often put students in competition with far better-prepared classmates, dooming many to fall so far behind that they can never catch up. Mismatch largely explains why, even though black applicants are more likely to enter college than whites with similar backgrounds, they are far less likely to finish; why there are so few black and Hispanic professionals with science and engineering degrees and doctorates; why black law graduates fail bar exams at four times the rate of whites; and why universities accept relatively affluent minorities over working class and poor people of all races. Sander and Taylor believe it is possible to achieve the goal of racial equality in higher education, but they argue that alternative policies -- such as full public disclosure of all preferential admission policies, a focused commitment to improving socioeconomic diversity on campuses, outreach to minority communities, and a renewed focus on K-12 schooling -- will go farther in achieving that goal than preferences, while also allowing applicants to make informed decisions. Bold, controversial, and deeply researched, Mismatch calls for a renewed examination of this most divisive of social programs -- and for reforms that will help realize the ultimate goal of racial equality.

Download or read book College Performance of New Maryland High School Graduates written by Michael J. Keller and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report draws on combined sets of data to examine the relationship between students' academic performance and experiences in high school and how well they did in their initial year in college. Specifically, it looks at students who graduated from a Maryland high school in the 2003-2004 school year who enrolled at a Maryland college or university during the 2004-2005 academic year. The Maryland Higher Education Commission also examined the long-term graduation and transfer patterns of students who enrolled at public colleges and universities in fall 1994 through 2000 based on the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Testing Program) information. This analysis, which provided additional insight into the factors which impact college success, was performed by linking student records in the Commission's enrollment and degree systems with those from the expanded SOAR (Student Outcome and Achievement Report) files in corresponding years. The report contains four sections. The first section examines the differences between the college performance of students who did or did not complete a college preparatory curriculum in high school. The second section contains the results of a multiple regression analysis which seeks to identify the factors that best predict first-year college performance. The third section examines trends in the data since 1997-1998. The fourth section presents the four-year graduation and transfer rates of students from Maryland community colleges and the six-year graduation rates of students from public four-year institutions in the State on the basis of whether or not they took a college preparatory course of study in high school. (Contains 36 tables.).

This book was released on 2009 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2009 SOAR (Student Outcome and Achievement Report) relies upon two sets of data, the academic performance data (which are collected directly from the colleges and universities) and the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test)/ACT (American College Testing Program) data, to examine the relationship between students' academic achievements and experiences in high school and how they did during their first year in college. Specifically, the report includes students who graduated from Maryland high schools in the 2005-2006 year and who also enrolled at a Maryland college or university during the 2006-2007 academic year. SOAR also includes an examination of the long-term graduation and transfer patterns of students who enrolled at public colleges and universities through fall 2000 (four-year campuses) and fall 2002 (community colleges). Among the major findings were that core students (those who took a college preparatory curriculum in high school) outperformed non-core students in every single category that was examined (math, reading, English, grade point average (GPA) and graduation and transfer rates. High school GPA was the best predictor of college performance for all three indicators analyzed (grade in first college math course, grade in first college English course and college GPA after the freshman year). Over time, the six-year graduation rate gaps between core and non-core students attending four-year universities have narrowed from seven percentage points to less than one percentage point. This decrease may be attributed to the fact that Maryland's four-year public and independent institutions have developed and implemented successful retention strategies for students who require remedial assistance upon enrolling. Also, Maryland is among the top five states in bachelor's degree production and ranks third in the percentage of its workforce holding advanced bachelor's or associates degree. Returning readers will observe two notable differences in this edition of SOAR. First, throughout the report the terms "remedial" and "developmental" are used interchangeably. Also, for the first time since the study began, separate analyses were conducted for Latino students and they are no longer included as part of the "other" category in the race/ethnicity breakdowns. (Contains 37 tables.).

Board of Governors and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State University System of Florida six-year graduation rate and second-year retention rate are strong compared to the ten largest public university systems. Graduation rates for the System's minority students are also competitive, with rates for non-Hispanic Black students and Hispanic students ranked in the top 10 when compared to all four-year public institutions in other states. The Board of Governors has recently adopted a process for State University System strategic planning, budgeting and accountability reporting that puts graduation rates among the key measures to inform policy decisions. Despite Florida's competitive national standing for graduation rates among its public four-year institutions, the Board of Governors and University Boards of Trustees recognize that there is room for improvement. This report evaluates and provides numerical data for comparisons of Florida graduation and retention rates. The following are appended: (1) 2004-2010 National Graduation Rates; (2) 2009-2010 2nd Year Retention Rates for First-Time-in-College Students in Public Universities; (3) Comparison of Graduation Rate Methodologies by University; and (4) Six-Year Undergraduate Progression and Graduation Rates by University.
