Students today are often faced with a difficult decision: pursue an expensive and time-intensive four-year Bachelor’s program or opt for a two-year degree that, while providing some economic security, may result in a “terminal degree” without the opportunity to transfer to a four-year program later.

She offers a set of concrete reforms to both federal and state education policy to help institutions of higher education support the needs of Career Technical Education (CTE) students.
