Despite the introduction of pre-college programs to offer support to under-represented students in the 1950's and 60's (Jager-Hyman, 2004), the achievement gap between white students and students who belong to under-represented student populations has not shrunk significantly. Today, there are more students belonging to under-represented populations on college campuses than ever before; yet a large number of them are not prepared for college-level coursework (Hoty & Sorensen, 2005).

520 $a Despite the introduction of pre-college programs to offer support to under-represented students in the 1950's and 60's (Jager-Hyman, 2004), the achievement gap between white students and students who belong to under-represented student populations has not shrunk significantly. Today, there are more students belonging to under-represented populations on college campuses than ever before; yet a large number of them are not prepared for college-level coursework (Hoty & Sorensen, 2005).
520 $a This dissertation evaluated the impact of college preparation programs on the readiness for, and progression through post-secondary education by college students. This was done through a researcher-designed questionnaire, containing multiple formats, on the beliefs of students who belong to the 2005 and 2006 entering freshman cohort (n=72) at an identified University. It was geared to gauge their perception of what components of their college preparation program had a significant impact on their college readiness and success. This mixed-methods research study attempted to utilize a variety of statistical methods including measures of central tendency, t-test, eta-squared, planned comparison and a content analysis.
520 $a In total, 24 respondents in the sample indicated that they participated in a college preparation program prior to matriculation to the university where this study commenced. Of those 24, 19 (79%) indicated that being exposed to a college campus was the most beneficial in preparing them for a post-secondary education. A vast majority of the participants (87.5%) stated that participation in a college preparation program played a part in their decision to attend college, and approximately 92% of program participants felt as if participation made them either "a great deal" or "considerably" more ready for college level coursework. Furthermore, 75% (n=18) of those students that participated indicated that they did not face any significant challenges once they were matriculated as college students.
520 $a Upon examining the data collected, it was determined that the Grade Point Average (GPA) for those students who participated in a college preparation program, and those who did not was almost identical (3.14 and 3.16 respectively), and statistically not significant. Further, in the 2005 cohort, the 5-year graduation rate among those who participated in a college preparation program was 40% compared to 12.5% for those students who did not participate.
