“We also piloted corequisite College Algebra in 2015. We had several different versions of algebra at that time, from a standalone intermediate algebra to an eight-week accelerated course, but we immediately realized that the corequisite model was outperforming the others. It only took us one semester to say, ‘this is far better than what we’re doing.’… In the corequisite algebra course, we are averaging an 85 percent success rate. Last fall, we had a 92 percent pass rate. Successful completion of the transitional writing course is at about 80 percent.”
