President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology

A report and letter from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) detailing recommendations and urging improvements in K-12 STEM education. This report lists specific actions to ensure that the United States is a leader in STEM education in the coming decades. A similar report is also available from PCAST on community college and university recommendations.

The resource shows how a variety of institutions aligned math pathways with programs of study; it is an example of how programs of study might be categorized. The list is intended for use as a reference, as each school context is unique. Information was compiled from the Dana Center's Mathematics Pathways Transfer Inventory, with specific focus on math requirements at several four-year colleges and community colleges in Texas that are well aligned with the math pathways model.
