Abstract:
This study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the pathways to college. Given the differences in course taking patterns, differences in postsecondary educational outcomes are not surprising. It is important to consider the issue of academic preparation in high school from a K-16 perspective because the outcomes have real implications for educators, parents and policymakers. Thus, this study investigates the link between college preparation in high school and higher education. Specifically, this study explores the relationship between high school students’ course-taking patterns in mathematics, science, and foreign language and their access to and choice of postsecondary institutions.
