This report evaluates the 1984 Search for Elevation, Education & Knowledge (SEEK) prefreshman summer program at Baruch College, City University of New York (CUNY), and describes its curriculum, staffing, recruitment of students, and objectives. Ninety-four students were enrolled: 73.4% were 18 or 19 years old; 73.0% were women; 90.4% were single; 47.9% also spoke a language other than English. Prospective students took the CUNY skills assessment tests in reading, writing, and mathematics in the spring. Seven students were enrolled in reading, 26 in writing, and 65 in mathematics. Student performance was assessed by skills assessment posttests and teacher's observation. Findings showed that 98.9% of the students completed the program. Reading and mathematics students showed improved performance on CUNY skills assessment tests. Class performance did not necessarily predict test performance. Improvement in writing was not apparent in test scores. Most students remained at the same course level. Attendance across classes was inconsistent. Lower attendance in the morning classes and writing classes may have affected learning outcomes. The program was generally well implemented but additional pre-planning and administrative and clerical support before start of classes might alleviate specific problems. Recommendations for future research are given. Tables and appendices provide student and curricular data. (CG)
