Abstract: This brief describes the Academic Pathways to Access and Student Success (APASS) project, a research initiative that identifies and disseminates information about existing and emerging academic pathways that extend from high school to college. Drawing upon the results of a 50-state survey, an extensive review of literature and consultation with national experts, the APASS project documented implementation of nine academic pathways in the United States: (1) Advanced Placement (AP); (2) Bridge programs; (3) College Level Examination Program (CLEP); (4) Distance learning/Virtual high schools and colleges (DL/VH); (5) Dual credit and dual enrollment; (6) GED programs that bridge to college; (7) International Baccalaureate (IB); (8) Early and Middle College High School (EMCHS); and (9) Tech Prep and College Tech Prep. Promoting access to college is a widely accepted educational goal in the United States. Results of the APASS study suggest that much work lies ahead if the pathways, either individually or in concert with one another, are to reach greater numbers of underserved students.
