The paper reports, citing the initiative's latest impact report, that "Over 80,000 students from more than 140 institutions" participated in Carnegie Math Pathways with markedly higher credit attainment and graduation rates than traditional remedial math students. The white paper narrates this second-hand; no independent analysis is presented.

"Over 80,000 students from more than 140 institutions have participated, earning college-level math credits at three to four times the rate of their peers in traditional sequences and in half the usual time."

Related Claims¶

• DCMP's effect on overall college credits earned was not statistically significant in the RCT — reports the opposite
• In a propensity-score-matched QED, DCMP students passed college-level math at much higher rates than a two-to-three-semester sequence comparison — related
• In an RCT, DCMP significantly increased completion of the developmental math sequence and passing of college-level math — related
• DCMP has positive effects on progressing in college, based on two studies meeting WWC standards — related
• Few students had experienced accelerated developmental education, but participants who had were positive and many others viewed it as a better option than traditional sequences — related
• First-year corequisite success rates exceeded those of the traditional developmental math sequence, which the report attributes to prior research showing 20 percent earning college-level math credit within three years and 6 percent within one year — related
• About three-quarters of U.S. high school graduates go to college within two years, yet nearly half of college students take at least one remedial course, and students who required remediation graduated at lower rates — related
• DCMP has positive effects on progressing in developmental education, based on three studies meeting WWC standards — related
• In their first year, 65.1% of the 410 students in Quantway and Statway College with Corequisite earned a grade of C or better and college-level math credit in a single term — related
