What type of program helps students transition from high school to college?

College readiness programs are specifically designed to assist students in making a successful transition from high school to college. These programs typically focus on equipping students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources needed to succeed in a higher education environment. They may include components such as academic advising, workshops on study skills and time management, information on college admissions processes, financial aid guidance, and opportunities for college visits.

The aim of a college readiness program is to address the unique challenges students might face as they move from a structured high school environment to the more independent setting of college. These programs foster confidence, promote academic preparedness, and help students develop the social and emotional skills that are critical for college success.

While career exploration programs might support students in understanding their career interests, and academic enrichment programs may enhance students’ academic foundations, they do not specifically target the transition to college. Extracurricular activity programs can provide valuable experiences, but they do not focus exclusively on preparing for college.
