Abstract | Dual credit programs are collaborations between secondary and postsecondary institutions that enable high school students to enroll in college courses and receive simultaneous academic or technical credit that counts toward high school and college completion. Dual credit is distinct from Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which require students to pass an end-of-course examination to receive college credit. Nationally and in Kentucky, dual credit participation is on the rise. The total number of high school students taking dual credit grew from 23,307 in 2014-15, to 40,821 students in 2019-20, an increase of 75.1%. This study investigates whether dual credit positively affects the probability of persisting to a second year of college and earning a first-year GPA of 3.0 or higher. The dataset includes public and private Kentucky high school students who took dual credit courses and subsequently enrolled at an in-state, public four-year university after graduation. (ERIC). |
