Technical Assistance provided from The North Texas Two-Step Program

With a focus on "Closing the Gaps in Texas" the Two-Step Project provides and promotes a bridge that begins in high school with TechPrep programs, continues in community and technical colleges, and then to universities where students earn a bachelor degree. As a member of the successful North Texas Two-Step model Texas A&M University-Commerce, student enrollment in the BAAS program increased 30% from Fall 2006 to Fall 2007.
With funding from the Perkins Leadership grant award through The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, technical assistance is now available to provide colleges and universities with creating a plan to replicate and facilitate this successful program to transition of Associates of Applied Science graduates into a baccalaureate programs. Efforts are focused on serving as a resource to navigate the current transfer system.
