Exploring Corequisite Reform in Louisiana: Year 1 Insights and What’s Next

In this essay, Community College Research Center shares what they’ve learned in Year 1 of a three-year study of colleges in the Louisiana Community and Technical College System as they design and deliver a new corequisite model.
