WISCAPE supports an array of projects related to its mission of promoting the creation and sharing of ideas for addressing Wisconsin’s postsecondary education challenges. This includes research, program evaluations, analysis of postsecondary education policies and programs, and literature reviews and environmental scans focused on finding innovative solutions to pressing problems. Projects are conducted in-house and led by staff or are financially supported by the center but led by scholars or affiliates.
The center also advances academic research on postsecondary education policy and practice by providing funding for two faculty positions, called WISCAPE Scholars, in the School of Education.
