Research and Assessment

The Black Scholars Initiative in partnership with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment have worked together to review our programs, cohorts, and the student experience. Our data tracks the academic outcomes of students who have participated in Berklee’s Black Scholars Initiative (BSI) and examines the relationship between participation in BSI with course grades, retention, and graduation rates. Below you will find key highlights as of August 2023 in addition to several historical reports for review.
