随着对大学学位的需求不断增加，大学搜索，申请和选择过程越来越复杂，有一些干预措施旨在缓解青少年及其家庭的大学入学过程。其中一项干预措施，大学抱负计划（CAP），是专门设计的，是一个全面连接的几个重要方面上大学的过程中，特别是集中在增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的兴趣整个学校的干预。由于许多青少年对STEM职业感兴趣，但缺乏如何将这些兴趣转化为计划的知识，CAP支持学生发展和追求他们的教育和职业目标。CAP为学生提供辅导和指导，课程咨询和建议，通过财政援助过程中的援助，并通过访问大学校园的大学经验。除了这四个核心组成部分，CAP还在研究如何整合移动的技术和短信，以进一步为学生提供量身定制的资源和有关大学入学过程的信息。本章描述了大学入学过程的复杂性，CAP干预的组成部分，并提出了证明这些策略可以提高大学入学率和对STEM的兴趣的研究结果。作者强调了在高中内发展大学文化的重要性，这种文化支持中学后教育和职业目标的一致性。
With a rising demand for a college degree and an increasingly complicated college search, application, and selection process, there are a number of interventions designed to ease the college‐going process for adolescents and their families. One such intervention, the College Ambition Program (CAP), is specifically designed to be a whole‐school intervention that comprehensively connects several important aspects of the college‐going process and specifically is focused on increasing interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). With many adolescents having interest in STEM careers but lacking knowledge of how to transform these interests into plans, CAP supports students in developing and pursuing their educational and occupational goals. CAP offers students tutoring and mentoring, course‐counseling and advising, assistance through the financial aid process, and college experiences through visits to college campuses. In addition to these four core components, CAP is also pursuing how to integrate mobile technology and texting to further provide students with tailored resources and information about the college‐going process. This chapter describes the complexities of the college‐going process, the components of the CAP intervention, and presents findings that demonstrate that these strategies can increase college‐going rates and interest in STEM. The authors highlight the importance of developing a college‐going culture within high schools that support the alignment of postsecondary and career goals.
