Just Equations Executive Director Pamela Burdman, Director of Operations and Programs Jenn BeVard, and Research Fellow Alexis Robin Hale discuss their recent report examining the role of math in the transfer process.
Burdman, BeVard, and Hale detail common obstacles along the transfer path, including math anxiety, inconsistent math requirements, and course scheduling challenges, and why these barriers persist.
They explore how policy reforms are often stymied by opposing priorities, stressing that there must be a concerted effort from states, systems, and institutions to ensure that math requirements help, rather than hinder, students’ progress toward their college and professional goals.
