  1. Math Pathways

  2. College Algebra’s Only Purpose:Preparation for Calculus STEM

  3. What is the “right” math course? Virtually no students who pass college algebra ever start Calculus III, which is a key course for STEM majors. Dunbar, S. 2005. Enrollment flow to and from courses below calculus . In A Fresh State for Collegiate mathematics: Rethinking the Courses below calculus, N.B. Hastings et al. (Eds.). Washington DC: MAA Notes, Mathematical Association of America.

  4. Math Is Aligned with Meta-Majors Quantitative Reasoning/ Statistics

  5. Math Aligned to Major • Articulated to Program of Study Requirements • Transferable into Programs of Study at Receiving Institutions • Designed to be delivered with a Corequisite for Underprepared Students • A Key Component of Pre-Major Advising

  6. Guiding Objective Students complete gateway courses and enter programs of study in their first academic year

  7. A Model Pathway Pre-Major Advising Advise and Assess Social Sciences STEM Humanities Choose Meta-major Coreq Coreq Coreq Gateway Math in 1st year QR Stats College Algebra Choose Major Major Major Major

  8. The Movement to Math Pathways at Scale Nine States Moving to Scale • Georgia • Ohio • Missouri • Montana • Nevada • Texas (Houston) • Colorado • Indiana • Tennessee
