California State University (CSU) Compass Evaluation

Timeline: 2013-2015

A study focused on conducting a quantitative analysis of the impact of general education courses incorporating high-impact practices at the community college level on student performance (e.g., course success, term-to-term retention rates) to inform efforts by the CSU Office of President's "Give Students a Compass Project." This project was designed to strengthen the relevance, integration, and real-life application of the general education (GE) transfer curriculum in California by infusing it with high-impact educational practices (e.g., service-learning, learning communities, first-year experiences).
