Research Agenda The research agenda of the MLDS Center will focus on what happens to students before and after critical transitions and will utilize data from at minimum two state agencies providing data to the MLDS Center. All research will include examinations of how results vary by different critical student subgroups and backgrounds. Postsecondary Readiness and Access Are Maryland students academically prepared to enter postsecondary institutions and complete their programs in a timely manner? What percentage of Maryland high school exiters entering college are assessed to need to take developmental courses and in what content areas? Which financial aid programs are most effective in improving access and success (i.e., retention and graduation) for Maryland students? Postsecondary Completion How likely are students placed in developmental courses to persist in postsecondary education and transfer and/or graduate? What are the differences in performance, retention and graduation, including time to degree, of students beginning in dual enrollment programs, at 2-year institutions and at 4-year institutions? What are the characteristics of 2-year institutions that are allowing students to persist most effectively and either graduate or transfer? Workforce Outcomes What are the educational and labor market outcomes for individuals who use federal and state resources to obtain training at community colleges or other postsecondary institutions? What economic value do noncredit community college credentials have in the workplace? Assess training and retention of early childhood workforce in Maryland.
