Since 2011, Bridgewater State University (BSU) has received funds through the Massachusetts Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Initiative (MAICEI) to support students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to attend college. This BSU-MAICEI partnership, named EXCEL (Extraordinary Expectations for Career, Education and Life), offers up to 30 eligible students from partnering school districts the opportunity to share the same experiences as their college-age peers in the areas of academics, socialization, career development, and residential life. Nationally, this kind of initiative is known as inclusive postsecondary education, or IPSE. In this brief, the authors focus on the work EXCEL program staff have accomplished to build an IPSE model, department by department, at BSU.
