Abstract	This study explores the effect of developmental courses on labor market outcomes and baccalaureate degree attainment using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:02; Ingels et al., 2014). Unlike previous research that only compares those needing developmental coursework to college peers who do not need coursework, this study is the first to examine outcomes of high school students who enroll in college through developmental classes and similar high school graduates who do not enroll in college. Employing inverse probability weighting, the findings of this study provide a counternarrative to current conversations about developmental courses. We offer some important evidence to suggest that developmental courses may have a more beneficial impact than many perceive. (As Provided).
