URBAN INSTITUTE
Much of the first year was devoted to start-up activities
AO seems to be serving the target population, but many students have secondary school credentials
The change in Pell rules affected recruitment strategies
Pathways were primarily concentrated in manufacturing and healthcare
5
URBAN INSTITUTE
Many students in AO expressed satisfaction with
the program and tried to recruit others to join
Some colleges IL and NC used bridge programs
for AO-eligible students in the 6th to 8th grade
adult education levels
Team teaching approaches ranged from a high level of integration to the adult education instructor acting as a teacher’s aide

URBAN INSTITUTE
Team teaching presented a financing challenge to
states and colleges
Many support services were provided, but
differentiation for AO was moderate
Almost all colleges had connections with
workforce agencies, but information about
employer engagement was mixed
7
URBAN INSTITUTE
Personnel was the most expensive aspect of AO
programs
The cost per student is approximately $4,546, and
the cost per credit is likely somewhere between
$226 and $565
The cost data are still being developed and will
improve throughout the evaluation

URBAN INSTITUTE
What were student outcomes? How many completed pathways, obtained credentials, became employed in their area of training, and experienced wage increases?
How did AO impact the student outcomes relative to what they would have achieved otherwise?
Did cultural change occurred as a result of AO, on either the state or college level? Did AO result in policy changes?
Did AO achieve scale? Which aspects of AO were seen as most sustainable?
