Education
Postsecondary
With national economic competitiveness a top priority of policymakers, there is an emphasis on increasing the number of Americans—particularly minorities—who complete some form of higher education. Rising costs, however, have made higher education more difficult to provide and for families to afford.
AIR helps policymakers address these issues. Our research and evaluation work identifies successful practices to increase educational access and to coordinate K-12 preparation with postsecondary needs. We explore cost-effective ways to deliver postsecondary educational services and training, and help universities and university systems foster environments that maximize learning, research productivity, and innovation.
