Resources on Corequisites

Resources on Corequisites

As the National Organization for Student Success’s (NOSS) Research Network Chair, I am working on compiling and updating a comprehensive list of references that pertain to the relatively recent reform termed corequisites. Please contact me if you would like a resource added to this list.

This resource list is designed as a tool for researchers and practitioners to understand the corequisite model, learn how they have been applied, and evaluate how effective they have been. For an overview and critique of corequisites and how they have been applied in institutions and states across the nation, please read this article.
