Our Mission

To assist students in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and behaviors to successfully enter and successfully complete a college course of study

Is there more you could do to prepare YOUR students for college success?

A leader in higher education, Wright State is a community partner that provides support to regional high schools through custom college readiness programming. Programs can be administered both day and night and at no charge to the district.

We provide partner districts college readiness curriculum(s) on their campuses that address:

  • College Application Process
  • Academic Enrichment
  • Non-Cognitive Skill Building
  • Financial Literacy/Financial Aid

Join Your Peers

Wright State is already partnering with a number of school systems in the Dayton area to promote college readiness.

  • Dayton Public Schools
  • Springfield City Schools
  • Jefferson Township Local Schools
  • Fairborn Highschool

Why Choose this Program?

Increasingly, students are setting their sights on college. They’re receiving support and skills to prepare them for success but recent data reveals they need more.

Nationally, 89% of high school teachers surveyed said students who finished their classes were well prepared for college work in those subjects. However, only 26% of college professors agree. Here in Ohio, 41% of high school graduates need remedial coursework in college.

Wright State University is teaming up with area school districts to help with a variety of workshops. Students will gain the additional tools they need to be successful in their college-level courses. They’ll also learn how to prepare for college life, and pay for college responsibly.
