| Abstract: | Dual enrollment programs--also known as early college high school, concurrent enrollment, and other identifiers--promote partnerships between school districts and institutions of higher education. They enable high school students to participate in intentionally designed, rigorous, and authentic postsecondary experiences that can lead to official acknowledgment on college transcripts and transferable credit toward a recognized postsecondary degree or credential. Dual enrollment programs are evidence-based practices that improve rates of college enrollment, high school and degree completion, and college credit accumulation. This resource outlines how federal data systems track dual enrollment, identifies critical information gaps, and offers policymakers options to improve national data collection for better participation, program quality, and outcomes. |
