Abstract	Higher education's interest in remedial college coursework and its bumpy impact on student success drove this collaboration between the mathematics department and institutional research at a small, private 4-year university. For first-time freshmen needing math remediation, national research shows that these students struggle with earning required college math credits compared with non-remedial students. A major roadblock for them is that they often do not earn credit towards their degree for remedial courses, further challenging progression through their major. This research describes the impact of one institution's curricular innovation to prepare students more quickly for college-level math and have some of that credit count toward graduation, thus meeting the institution's Liberal Arts Core requirement. The researchers examine a combined cohort of first-year students to determine if there is a relationship between this co-requisite math course and higher retention and graduation rates compared to other traditional types of mathematics remediation. Students taking the co-requisite remedial class retained and graduated at higher rates and were also more successful in subsequent college-level mathematics classes. (As Provided).
