Measuring the Impact of MSI-Funded Programs on Student Success Findings from the Evaluation of Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions

This report shares findings from a three-year longitudinal study of three Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs)—one of the newest minority serving institution (MSI) designations—and provides evidence for the impact of federally-funded campus programs on persistence, degree attainment, and transfer to four-year institutions for low-income Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students. This report demonstrates the important role of inquiry in enhancing the capacity-building efforts of institutions that serve disproportionately high concentrations of low-income minority students.
