Preparatory Pathways and STEM Calculus Completion under AB 1705: An Aggregate Look at College-Level Reports, November 2024
Brief offers an aggregate look at 115 college reports provided to validate the three standards of AB 1705 at the local level. The individual reports were a follow up on an earlier statewide analysis of more than 37,000 student records that applied the same validation standards for AB 1705. However, the college-level analyses provide an opportunity to verify statewide findings based on a more recent timeframe, a different set of criteria for grouping students based on high school accomplishments, and student information obtained through the centralized community college application (CCCApply), instead of high school transcripts.
The RP Group Community College Survey Solutions Information Session, November 2024 (PPT)
Slides used in the webinar information session where we unveil and share information about a new service that will be available for community colleges to provide solutions to their survey needs. This session includes information about the first two surveys we will be offering: a student and employee version about campus climate, and the CCEAL’s Community College Student Success Measures (CCSM) survey, cost, and sign up information.

A Focus on Biology: An Extension of the Report Preparatory Pathways and STEM Calculus Completion: Implications of the AB 1705 Standards, August 2024
This brief provides a follow-up to the initial Preparatory Pathways and STEM Calculus Completion: Implications of the AB 1705 Standards report with a focus on students in biology majors. The goal was to determine if the original report underestimated calculus completion rates for certain biology majors with different calculus course requirements. The report found STEM Calculus 1 throughput patterns to align for overall STEM majors and biology majors.
