City University of New York's Accelerated Study in Associate Programs: A Comprehensive Learning Support Program Description, History, and Review of Efficacy Studies

This work examines what appears to be the most effective comprehensive learning support program ever available for underprepared college students. The Accelerated Study in Associate Programs initiative was designed and implemented at the City University of New York Community Colleges. It offers a wide range of integrated college acclimation, learning, and affective support for community college students placed in developmental education. Research studies consistently show the intervention to be quite substantially effective, especially in supporting student achievement of long-term outcomes such as transfer and graduation.
