Research
Investigating Success
In January, 2012, the Secretary of Education invited submissions about promising and practical strategies, practices, programs, and activities that have improved rates of postsecondary success, transfer, and graduation. On this page, you can find the submissions from institutions and organizations that responded. The Department of Education (ED) hopes that this information will be of interest to others in situations similar to those described in these submissions. In September, 2012, ED invited a second round of submissions, which will add to this growing compendium of knowledge about promising practices.
