Abstract: Over 50% of American students in our public schools are Latinx, Black, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI), or American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN). Tapping into their talent and ensuring their access to a college education is essential to our future economic power and the success of a multi-racial democracy. Yet, despite the historical exclusion and current underrepresentation of many Americans in our colleges and universities--including those who are first-generation, undocumented, or low-income--anti-equity forces continually threaten to regress the nation back into a pre-civil rights era of darkness and exclusion. This brief examines the importance of access to college-prep coursework in high school; barriers facing Latinx, Black, underrepresented Asian American, NHPI, and AIAN students in the U.S. who are trying to enroll and succeed in these courses; and the implications of those barriers on students' access to four-year college degrees. This examination is followed by recommendations for state, system, and school leaders who seek to ensure equitable access to college-prep curricula.
