A CAPR study of Dana Center Mathematics Pathways (DCMP) at four community colleges in Texas found that, after three semesters, students assigned to DCMP were 8 percentage points more likely to pass a developmental math course and almost 24 percentage points more likely to complete their developmental math sequence than students assigned to standard developmental math. DCMP students were also more likely to pass college-level math by the end of the study period.
