Lumina's Innovation and Discovery work
A student-ready institution reframes the student success conversation from one of pre-college characteristics and student deficits, to one of student assets and institutional opportunity, leadership and accountability. In other words, it becomes much more about how the university or college has worked intentionally, systemically and holistically — keeping the student at the center of this work — in creating an environment that helps every student to thrive.
Learn MoreSome institutions are known for creating supportive environments and providing resources that help students from disadvantaged backgrounds thrive academically and personally.
Community Colleges offer more affordable tuition and flexible scheduling to serve more students. They often have strong support services like tutoring and career counseling. Their open admissions nature allows easier access for more students and partnerships with four-year universities make it easy to transfer credits towards a bachelor’s degree.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) focus on creating supportive environments for students of color. Curriculum and support services are culturally relevant and tailored to the student body. Strong alumni and community networks provide mentorship and career opportunities.
Technical and Vocational Schools offer practical, hands-on training in in-demand fields. Regional collaboration with businesses ensures that the curriculum aligns with industry needs for immediate and secure placement after graduation.
Online Institutions provide flexible, remote learning opportunities for working adults. Modern online learning systems allow students to progress at their own pace and balance eduction with personal responsibilities.
