College Knowledge is based on an extensive three-year project sponsored by the Association of American Universities in partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts. Based on the project’s findings and interviews with students, faculty, and staff, this groundbreaking book delineates the cognitive skills and subject area knowledge that college-bound students need to master in major subject areas of English, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, second languages, and the arts.

College Knowledge is filled with ideas that can be implemented by high school teachers and administrators to improve their college preparation programs. Parents and educators will find this book to be an indispensable guide to the fundamental knowledge and habits of mind their college-bound kids need to develop before they leave high school.
