for Success: How to Support Every Student Through Math Pathways | CCA 1  \nJANUARY 2025  \nFormula for  \nNo matter what path students pursue in postsecondary education and in life, they need to be able to problem solve and think critically. The study of mathematics involves more than learning how to solve equations—it teaches skills and habits of mind that are an essential part of the formula for students to succeed in further studies and in their careers. Requiring all students, regardless of the degree or certificate they are seeking, to take at least some math is one way postsecondary institutions ensure that students master these skills.  \nBut as states, systems, and institutions look at ways to increase completion rates and help students meet their education goals, recognition has grown that students in different programs of study require different math knowledge and skills. For example, students in the social sciences might benefit from focusing on statistics or data analysis, while students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields might need to focus on algebraic skills. Aligning the math students learn with the skills and knowledge required for their program of study helps students understand the purpose of the coursework, fostering productive academic mindsets so they can overcome challenges, build momentum, and persist to meet their goals.  \nTo ensure that students are exposed to the math content they need, Complete College America (CCA) is supporting systems and institutions as they implement math pathways. This work is part of CCA’s efforts to address policy, perspective, and practice to drive systemic changes that lead to higher college completion rates, more equitable outcomes, and greater economic and social mobility.  \nHow to Support Every Student Through Math Pathways  \nSUCCESS  \nCreating these pathways was an important start. But many institutions still have policies and structures in place formath pathways that inadvertently close doors and prevent students, particularly those interested in STEM fields, from accessing some programs of study. Full implementation of math pathways requires additional steps to remove these barriers so that all programs of study and aligned math pathways are available to every student.  \nThis brief focuses on the next phase of the math pathways work—math pathways 2.0. This phase includes the steps postsecondary institutions need to take to ensure that students, including those pursuing STEM fields, have access to and are set up to succeed through math pathways, including:  \n⚪ Ensuring that the designated entry-level, creditbearing (or gateway) course for each math pathway covers the necessary knowledge and skills for the corresponding program of study.  \n⚪ Revising the placement process so that students start by identifying their goals and choose a program of study based on those goals, then defaulting students into the appropriate gateway math course for that program of study.  \n⚪ Providing the supports students need to succeed in the gateway course and beyond.  \nMath faculty and college and system leaders can use this brief to broaden their understanding of how to build on the work they have already done and are doing to support student success in math pathways and advocate change at their institutions.  \nFormula for Success: How to Support Every Student Through Math Pathways | CCA 2  \nABOUT COMPLETE COLLEGE AMERICA  \nComplete College America (CCA) builds movements for scaled change and transforms institutions. Specifically, CCA drives systemic change that leads to better college completion rates; more equitable outcomes; and greater economic and social mobility, especially for historically excluded students.
