The National Center for Postsecondary Research (NCPR) uses rigorous research methods to conduct evaluations of two widely-used programs: one that allows high school students to enroll in college courses (dual enrollment) and another that establishes remediation groups or learning communities for low-skilled students. In addition to these two major projects, the Postsecondary Center will research a variety of topics, chosen in collaboration with the Institute of Education Sciences.
Established thorugh a five-year grant from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, NCPR is housed at the Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, and operated in collaboration with partners MDRC, the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia, and professors at Harvard University and Princeton University.
