Academy on the First College Year

Conduct an institutional audit and develop a plan aimed at improving the experience of students in the first college year.

The Curricular Analytics Community is designed to involve faculty and staff in a process that leverages improvement science and curricular analytics tools to identify opportunities for equitable curriculum redesign at their institutions. High curricular complexity has been correlated with low retention rates, extended time to graduation, and increased credit accumulation for students. 

Undergo a rigorous transformation of the most crucial touchpoints during a student’s first and second year of college.
