The Impact of Higher Education

Why college readiness?
Will every student pursue higher education? Not necessarily.
Should every student be prepared for and have the option to attend college or pursue higher education?
Absolutely!

College Readiness Defined
§ College readiness: the level of preparation a student needs to enroll and succeed—without remediation—in a credit-bearing general education course at a postsecondary institution that offers a baccalaureate degree or transfer to a baccalaureate program.
