Associate professors Federick Ngo and Stefani Relles (both Educational Psychology, Leadership, and Higher Education) were awarded a five-year, $1.2 million research grant from the Institute of Education Sciences. They will examine the impact and implementation of Nevada’s Corequisite Reform, which allows students to enroll directly in college-level math and English courses with corequisite support instead of prerequisite coursework. They will use Nevada’s statewide longitudinal data system to examine the effects of the policy on learning, college outcomes, and post-graduation earnings, and they will partner with NSHE to explore student, faculty, advisor, and administrator experiences of policy implementation. They are seeking two fully-funded Graduate Assistants to join the project, including one GA interested in quantitative research experience (e.g., analysis of large scale secondary data and survey data) and one GA interested in qualitative research (e.g., interviewing; participatory action research). Please send inquiries to federick.ngo@unlv.edu.
