While the gap in math scores narrowed a bit between blacks and whites, the gap persisted for Hispanics and whites. The same was true with the results in reading.

To address this gap, foundation students undergo a crash course in business English, then a mini-M.B.A. boot camp devised by the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business that places them in real-life business situations in which, for instance, accounting graduates perform simulated audits...
