Dual Credit: Examining The Impact Of Participation On Educational Pursuit And Outcomes For Rural Arkansas Students, Joshua Wilson

Theses and Dissertations

Community colleges recruit within area high schools in a variety of ways to engage students early and steer them on a pathway to completion. As such, dual credit programs are of particular interest as researchers conclude initiatives not only address issues impeding student success, but also provide support for traditionally underserved and underprepared populations.

Using Figurative Language In American English: Challenges And Successes Of Adult English Learners, Abbey L. Ventrone
