College Access and (In)Equity

Addresses theories and research on a variety of issues related to college preparation, school structures, and inequalities in college access. The course is organized into three levels of analyses: individual levels (e.g., race, ethnicity, and social class), organizational levels (e.g.,family, geography, high school context, and outreach), and field levels (e.g., financial aid, testing, rankings, media, and affirmative action). Special attention will be paid to the sociocultural context, particularly on the role of families.
