Corequisite remediation, which places students directly into college-level work with additional academic support, has emerged as a robust alternative to stand-alone, prerequisite, developmental education. In 2013, we conducted the first published experimental evaluation of corequisite remediation. Our seven-year outcomes data indicate that the benefits of corequisite remediation with college-level statistics include substantially higher rates of associate’s and bachelor’s degree completion, as well as greater earnings.
