Bridging the Gap: Analyzing the Impact of the On Track Program on Academic Achievement and Retention Rates of Academic Warning Students
No full textThis thesis examines the effectiveness of a college program called the OnTrack Program, which addresses achievement gaps, improves retention rates, and boosts academic performance for its students considered at-risk. The study analyzes data from two groups: Students who qualified for the On Track program and chose not to participate, and students who enrolled in the On Track program. Through both quantitative measures of research, such as GPA and retention statistics, as well as qualitative measures of researchers, such as student testimonials, the research investigates whether the targeted academic support significantly impacts students\u27 educational outcomes and student experience. By evaluating the program\u27s structure and success rates, this study aims to provide insights and means for improvement to enhance the well-needed support for at-risk students. Findings contribute to the ongoing conversations about best practices in the role of structured intervention programs within higher education
