The larger goal of our efforts will be to develop simple, effective,
low cost techniques that allow universities to bring a realistic
university experience to community college students. By those means we
intend to achieve a number of objectives:
- Improve access, retention, and completion by providing more
accurate information and personal experiences on which to base
career choices, as well as increase the students' practical and
psychological readiness for a university education.
- Reduce cost by reducing the time in residence at the universities,
with their significant overhead, as well as reduce the total time to
graduation.
- Provide simple, effective tools to expand the access and
visibility of universities for students in community colleges and
elsewhere, and thus increase university enrollment.
