Abstract	This study employed social capital and chain migration theory to understand the development of college aspirations and the college choice process of Latinx dual credit earners enrolled in engineering programs. Through semi-structured, one-on-one interviews, participants described the key individuals who inspired their college aspirations and shared the reasons they selected a four-year, public university. The findings indicate that dual credit was not a substantial influence in their college-going decision making. Instead, family, peers, and financial aid resources informed the participants' aspirations and choices. Recommendations for practice and future research are offered. (As Provided).
