The objective of the entering studentsprogram is to assist students in developing skills necessary for academic success in college and to assist incareer selection. MPCT, which is allocated approximately half of the course‟s instructional time, providestechnical content to complement the entering students program‟s curriculum that reviews study, note-taking,presentation, and writing skills, and career guidance. Introductory courses for technical disciplines such as computer science can offer a limited

Explanations for thisdecline include the attraction of lucrative careers in industry, increased debt burden fromundergraduate education, and a shift in enrollment from graduate to professional schools,especially medical school.8Given the questionable improvement in participation rates and continued underrepresentation ofAfrican
