College today means much more than just pursuing a four-year degree at a university. Being “college” ready means being prepared for any postsecondary education or training experience, including study at two- and four-year institutions leading to a postsecondary credential (i.e. a certi� cate, license, Associates or Bachelor’s degree). Being ready for college means that a high school graduate has the English and Mathematics knowledge and skills necessary to qualify for and succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing college courses without the need for remedial coursework.
