This journal article discusses a study in which researchers used a quasiexperimental design to evaluate a low-intensity intervention aimed at preventing dating violence among college students. The integrated behavioral model was used to guide the evaluation. The results suggest that low-resource interventions have a modest effect on increasing bystander behaviors.

This infographic examines five well-known, publicly available national college rankings systems chosen because of their widespread use and/or their focus on student outcomes.

This documentary is about the unique challenges facing rural communities in Minnesota as students explore and prepare for careers.

On Thursday April 28, 2022, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) hosted a webinar for the public release of the consensus study report, Defense Research Capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions: Transitioning from Good Intentions to Measurable Outcomes. In the webinar, members of the committee discussed the key conclusions and recommendations in the report and took questions from the audience. 

The findings presented in this report stem from a literature review, interviews of key intermediary organizations and industry-led postsecondary partnerships, and a survey of industry-led postsecondary partnerships. The survey captures the key features of 23 active postsecondary initiatives run by industry-led postsecondary partnerships. These initiatives are in 10 states throughout the United States; there are also two national initiatives. The initiatives covered in the survey began as early as 2004 and as recently as 2023 and encompass a broad range of industries, with manufacturing and healthcare the most common. 

This report used data from a recent survey of adult learners and one-on-one interview with a subset of parenting and adult learners to learn more about this population of students and the supports they need in their pursuit and completion of postsecondary credentials. Results from this research point to three ways practitioners and policymakers can better align programs and resources to this student population: 1) consider practices that encourage a family-friendly environment, 2) tailor outreach to parenting adult learners, and 3) collect and examine data on parenting students. 

These Research Explainers provide brief summaries of existing research on the CBE landscape, program design and implementation, and perceptions of CBE. This series is intended to be useful for practitioners, program leaders, and researchers—both those already working in CBE and those interested in pursuing work in this area.

This policy brief summarizes findings about effective articulation policies and practices.

In this podcast, CARPE intern Sakshee Chawla interviewed Robert Nathenson, a senior researcher at AIR. He spoke about the research behind Children Development Accounts as a means to save for college and thereby improve outcomes for children, families, and society at large.

This journal article discusses a study that investigated the effect of the expanded availability of online curricula on persistence in the field and toward a degree. The findings suggest that for the average person, taking an online course has a negative effect on the probability of taking another course in the same field and on the probability of earning a degree.
