Middle College Multicultural Educational Exchange Program
The existing Middle College Multicultural Educational Exchange Program is designed to reduce racial, ethnic, class, and gender stereotyping and conflict among participating high school juniors and seniors by offering students a chance to earn free college credit while taking demanding college-level courses in integrated classrooms. The Institute is working closely with the Social Science Research Center at Old Dominion University and the Wayne County Community College District, based in Detroit, to expand the program by developing additional college-level courses, training additional instructors at pilot sites, rigorously evaluating student outcomes, and further developing the curriculum for dissemination to new sites.
