Postbaccalaureate Admissions, Graduate & Professional Degree Enrollment, and Degree Completion Outcomes

In 2017, Mikael Davis secured a U.S. Department of Education grant to reconstitute the Hampton University Ronald E.

Across eight cohorts of scholars, the program has produced 87 documented admissions to graduate and postbaccalaureate programs. The ledger below records the degree-completion status of those scholars — the living evidence of an evidence-based practice.
