Abstract

Economically disadvantaged students are entering our colleges in increasing numbers. Their demands for entrance, financial assistance, and relevant education is pressuring higher education to re-evaluate and modify traditional entrance criteria and teaching modalities. Non-traditional academic programs represent this transitional phase in higher education. Evaluative research to determine the academic quality and benefits to the student of non-traditional academic programs is necessary.

This study has focused on the effect of participation by the economically disadvantaged in non-traditional academic programs on the student's success in college. All of the students in this study were economically disadvantaged. Students in three of the groups were participating in non-traditional academic programs.
