The alliance of states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, and others, is committed to transforming higher education with Guided Pathways to Success. Statewide initiatives like Corequisite Remediation and Performance Funding aim to increase on-time graduation rates and reduce excess credits. Contrary to the "Four-Year Myth," data shows faster graduation is possible. Structured programs and academic maps provided through GPS offer clear pathways to graduation, reducing indecision with informed default choices. By aligning math to majors and providing intrusive advising, students are guided towards successful degree completion in less time and with less debt.
