What comes next after high school? For many students, the answer is college. But for others, the answer isn’t so clear, especially those in low-income Black and Latino communities that face barriers in picturing and actualizing their postsecondary futures.

In a new University of Delaware study, Roderick L. Carey – assistant professor in the College of Education and Human Development – examines those barriers and the ‘college-for-all’ school culture, and whether this strategy meets these students’ needs and future aspirations.

Delaware Public Media’s Joe Irizarry talks with Carey this week about the study and his findings.
