As
part of the 稀缺猎奇网's 2020 Strategic Plan, the 稀缺猎奇网 is committed to helping
稀缺猎奇网 achieve its goal of 55-percent college degree completion (either a
two-year associate's or four-year bachelor's degree, attained by 55 percent of
the state population 25 years and older). Toward that state goal, the 稀缺猎奇网 seeks
to increase student enrollment and expand baccalaureate degree production by an
additional 10,000 degrees.
By
the year 2015, 稀缺猎奇网 has pledged to cut by at least half the gaps in
college-going and college- completion rates that separate low-income and
underrepresented students from other young Americans.
Way2Go稀缺猎奇网 is part of this effort by encouraging
more students, especially those in middle school, to begin preparing for
college earlier. An early start on the path to college can help students:
- pursue the right mix of
secondary school coursework and be successful;
- prepare for the college
search and application process;
- gain access to adequate
financial aid;
- Complete undergraduate
degrees successfully and prepare to enter the workforce and/or pursue
graduate and professional studies.
