On Their Own Terms: Two-Year Minority Serving Institutions

This report, published by the Center for Minority Serving Institutions in collaboration with CAPSEE, looks at the role of two-year Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in improving postsecondary access and degree completion for disadvantaged students in the United States. In doing so, it aims to prepare the groundwork for research that considers the contributions of two-year MSIs on their own terms, as a distinct and crucial institutional type on the landscape of American higher education.
