Remediation is higher ed's "Bridge to Nowhere," according to a new report from
Complete College America: Too many college freshmen need remediation programs, and too few students who start in remediation ever graduate.
Instead, the report advises, students need to be better prepared in high school with a Common Core Curriculum. They need to start with credit-bearing college-level classes that include built-in academic support. And they need structured pathways that allow them to complete a few courses in their chosen program during their first academic year.
The report includes extensive data on remedial students from all 50 states. Download the PDF
