ASC receives $25,000 state grant to help adults finish college
(03-24-2009)
Adams State College is launching an Office of Degree Completion to help adult students return to college and complete a degree, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Colorado Department of Higher Education.
Adams State will also conduct a statewide survey to determine why students do not complete college. "If we can better understand who does not finish college, and why, we can develop policies and programs to improve degree completion," said Adams State Provost Michael Mumper. Various factors - financial issues, family obligations, scheduling conflicts, relocation - may play a role. "We want to learn what happened to curtail their college progress and what would help them return."
