Students who passed all of their gateway courses had retention rates up to 42% higher than others during the critical first two years of college.1
Gamified course interfaces are proven to captivate students, boosting their retention by an impressive 25%.2
Underrepresented students are less likely to persist in chemistry if they perform below a C−, but more likely to persist if they get a C or better.3
