• Physics in the Two-Year Colleges: 2001-02
  Physics in Two Year Colleges - a report from the AIP's statistical division.
  "For many years, the American Institute of Physics has been gathering information on
  physics education, but only recently have we filled in the last gap: two-year colleges. With 600,000 high school students enrolling immediately after graduation and another 500,000 enrolling within a few years after receiving their diploma, these institutions play a very
  important part in the post-secondary education pipeline... ". The complete report is here.
   
• Guidelines for Two-Year College Physics Programs
  Over the past few years the committee and our community have  diligently worked  on revising the official AAPT guidelines for TYC Physics Programs. This effort was  led by editor William Hogan. The new guidelines have been reviewed by the AAPT publications committee and accepted for publication by AAPT. Here is the final version:

• SPIN-UP/TYC
  Strategic Programs for Innovations in Undergraduate Physics at Two-Year Colleges: The AAPT SPIN-UP/TYC initiative is the third project in a series since 1989 to tap the rich resources at two-year colleges to produce  an increase in the number of STEM majors, particularly physics majors, and a better understanding of the contributions of TYC programs to physics education.
