| Abstract | The Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP), developed by the City University of New York (CUNY), is an uncommonly comprehensive and long-term program designed to address low graduation rates among community college students. MDRC has been studying the effects of ASAP on low-income students with developmental (remedial) education needs at CUNY using a randomized controlled trial. At the time of MDRC's evaluation, ASAP offered students a tuition waiver, the free use of textbooks, a MetroCard for the unlimited use of New York City public transit, access to advisers with reduced caseloads, individual career and employment services, and tutoring, all for up to three years. To maintain their status in the program, students had to enroll full time, take their developmental courses early, meet regularly with their advisers, and attend tutoring if they were taking developmental courses or were struggling academically. The last report MDRC published found that within three years (the amount of time program services were available to students) ASAP nearly doubled graduation rates. Following up on students six years after the start of the research study, MDRC finds that ASAP both continues to increase graduation rates and enables some students to earn their degrees faster than they would have otherwise.
