Abstract
Community colleges play an essential role in the American educational system. Millions of students attend two-year schools to earn college credit towards a degree or certification. Those who choose these schools come from all backgrounds, and the majority of students is deemed not ready for college-level courses and, therefore, referred to developmental courses. There is a problem with the developmental course sequence, however, because most students never make it through to take for-credit courses. This paper looks at ways to address these issues to improve the system and increase the number of students leaving college with degrees.
