Our Goal
The goal of the Corequisite Research Design Collaborative (CRDC) is to dramatically increase the number of students who successfully complete research-informed corequisite supports, particularly students who are minoritized or experiencing poverty.
The Collaborative will explore the complex factors holding a student back from achieving greater results through effective, research-informed solutions like corequisite supports.
Below are resources and publications institutions can use to support the implementation of math and English corequisites.
