Apush Framework Analysis

Community colleges in the United States develop rapidly and have become a vital component of the postsecondary education delivery system. As of 2011-2012 school year, 45% of all undergraduate students were enrolled in public two-year colleges, approximately 8.3 million students (Knapp et al., 2012. Cited by AACC Fast Facts). And it seems that with globalization and Obama’s education agenda, the trend of growing enrollment in community colleges won’t change. A high school graduate who decides to pursue postsecondary education may face with a dilemma--whether enroll in a community college or a traditional four-year college. Even within a community college, a student may be faced with a choice—enroll in a vocational program and enter workforce after graduation with a vocational certification, or choose an academic program with an intention of transferring to four-year institutions.

Lauren Baker spent her college years cheering from the sideline, but that isn’t the case anymore. The former University Of Massachusetts Amherst cheerleader is the new Assistant Dean of the Azure House at Brockton High School. She has held the position since December 2015, but was officially named as the full time Assistant Dean this past September.

In the article, “Is Faster Always Better?”, Katherine Mangan analyzes dual-credit programs and questions if students are prepared for the rigor that comes with taking these college level classes. She opens with a case study on James Hinkson, a senior in high school enrolled in a dual-credit program. Dual-credit is a program that allows high school students to earn college credits at their high school. Mangan then, gives some detail on dual-credit’s goals and purposes by stating that dual-credit programs are growing because, they save students money and push them towards earning a college degree. Mangan then returns to the case study, letting readers know Hinkson is now in college, failing most of his classes, and is deciding to put college

High schools do not focus enough on college readiness. “Our findings suggest that high schools have prioritized credit accrual necessary for graduation over knowledge and skill development that would prepare students for

This chapter presents the statistical results of the correlational study of the relationship between students and college persistence who were enrolled from partnering high schools (Clay County, Corbin, McCreary County, North Laurel, South Laurel, and Whitley County) and the dual credit program. The study theorized that the provision of dual credit programs to participating high schools would affect the students’ choice to attend an institution of higher education or not based upon participation levels in dual credit classes. Furthermore, the study assumed that a relationship will exist in the grade point average earned and dual credit participation. The study was designed to test the assumptions

In perspective of students from underrepresented populations, the numbers are much lower in comparison the number of students participating in the AP course program. However, among concurrent and post-secondary enrollment options the number of low-income students rose 40% from the previous school year, while white student participation percentages remains stagnant ("Postsecondary enrollment options," 2012). This is a state funded program, with affiliated state colleges and universities from which the college credit is earned, which is very beneficial for those who do not have the financial support to attend college. Other benefits to these programs are they allow students to complete a “trial run” of college classes to determine if this is part of their career path without exhausting personal finances. These courses also give students exposure to the high academic expectations associated with college-level work, allow them to find new challenges, and give them momentum to pursue a college degree by awarding them college credits before they graduate high school.

When it comes time for high school students to enroll in classes, many of them decide against taking an Advanced Placement class as a result of false assumptions. Why do false assumptions about AP courses exist when the concept was to help students further their education? While it is true that many students take advantage of these courses, the idea of taking an AP course originated as a beneficial route for students. Arguments that were previously stated in articles can easily be rebutted by analyzing the benefits of taking an Advanced Placement course. High school students may benefit by taking AP courses by developing college-level skills, saving money and time, and impressing college admission officers.

The purpose of this proposal is to examine current and future Iowa State University admissions decisions processes. At the present time most colleges, including Iowa State use a combination of standardized test scores, high school class rank, high school grade point average, and essays to make decisions on admissions. All of the above are good determinants of a student’s possible success in college, except standardized test scores. Standardized tests discriminate against minorities and are not a good overall indicator of a student’s potential. For these reasons and others, Iowa State should not use standardized test scores when making admissions

David Hume once said “Truth springs from argument.” I will adhere to the analysis on Brookhaven’s college policies. Policies are implemented to protect and insure the success of students. At this community college their guidelines are stated under the academic information that course prerequisites are required in order to take certain classes. This ensures that student will be prepared with at least minimal knowledge for an advance course. But many students at the college feel that by taking these mandatory classes they get delayed from taking more classes that actually matter towards their degree. Studies show that many students that have to retake a prerequisite course end up switching their majors or dropping out of college because the class

Students go to college in search of knowledge, a new lifestyle, and the hope of a job after graduation. For many young adults, college is a rite of passage into an independent, mature new lifestyle. Not only is higher education a rite of passage, for some, it is also an opportunity to have a better life. Overall, college is a wonderful part of many people’s lives, yet the way the college education system is conducted wastes students time and money. College is basically composed of two parts: general education classes and major specific classes. General education courses are the source of wasted time and money, and should not be required of students. A few of the problems associated with general education classes are that they are

Anson and Scherer (2014) explored the need for an updated version of the policy for open access would help achieve the goals of community college. Goals should such as improved college readiness and completion, increased financial support for promising low-income students, efficient use of public and private resources, and ultimately, greater security and prosperity for Americans. The vast majority of employers are looking for employees that have a skill

While in high school, students have the opportunity to earn college credit to work towards a degree, while earning high school credit at the same time. This is referred to as dual credit, and more and more students are beginning to take advantage of its many purposes. Two types of these dual credit programs are dual enrollment and advanced placement. While both programs have their advantages, there are several reasons that dual enrollment is rightfully preferred by students than its counterpart. Dual enrollment courses benefit students more overall than advanced placement courses, as dual enrollment programs give students the same benefits, if not more, without the intense rigor and risks associated with advanced placement.

Dual enrollment is a huge perk for many high school students, as it allows you to earn college credit without attending a college. There are many obvious perks to this, such as earning your associate’s degree faster, it’s cheaper than taking the course at a campus, and it gets you ready for the college experience better than much of anything else. Many more examples of why dual enrollment is great blind students from doing their own research and many students fail to recognize that they might not be able to take on college classes. While dual enrollment is certainly a great way to start college early, there are some instances where it’s not the best idea. To evaluate if taking college credit is ideal, we need some statistics on the dual enrollment program.
