520 |a An end-of-year evaluation of the 1979-80 University of Minnesota's General College (GC) Pilot Education Program (PEP) for academically underprepared minority group students is presented. The results show that compared to other GC students, the PEP students came to the college with weaker academic skills, and had different personal characteristics. While the PEP students achieved and were retained at levels comparable to other GC students during the fall quarter, as the year progressed, they tended to perform more poorly than the students in the comparison groups. A profile of the more successful PEP students shows them to be younger, have high educational aspirations, and come from families where the father has post-high school training. Recommendations are made to continue skill development and counseling activities for the students throughout the year, but to fully incorporate these activities into regular course offerings by altering the credit, timing, and sequencing of the courses. Detailed statistical information is included. (Author/SW)
