Community College Research Center at Columbia University – Florida and NYC study on CTE students, California policy study
Jobs for the Future – supporting Early College Movement
Local Community Colleges and Universities conducting internal research
State University & Community College Systems (Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington)
National Quantitative Research
+As compared to students who did not participate in dual enrollment program courses….
1) Higher rates of second year college persistence
2) Shorter time to degree
3) Higher levels of college degree attainment
+
... a bold, out of the box way to prepare students for post-secondary success.

+Dual Enrollment may change PSE attitudes and expectations
Three categories of students – want a BA, might want a BA, expect less than a BA
Research suggests a 12% (p < .01) greater likelihood of earning a BA if student expected less upon entry to the class
Socialization factors greater in persistence in college – especially in the first two years (Tinto)- than academic
Qualitative change in self-belief about post-secondary possibilities
+Social Effects of Dual Enrollment Course Participation
+
Persistence – continuing the journeyWhat are the metrics for persistence and what do we know about dual enrollment participants?
+The High Cost of Departure and the Impact of Dual Enrollment
American Institute for Research (2010)
Stanford Bridge Project (Venezia, Kirst, Antonio, 2003
Tinto, 1997
Dual Enrollment participating students were 11% (p < .01) more likely to persist through the second year of college.
If entered HS within 7 months after graduation were 17% (p < .001) more likely to persist to the second year of college.
If completed 20+ credits in the first year were 28% (p < .001) more likely to persist through the second year of college.
Tinto, V. (1975) Longitudinal Theory of Departure from Higher Education

What are the implications for dual enrollment participants?
Degree Attainme
nt
+Moving Towards a Credential
Adelman (2004) Earning at least 9 hours of acceleration credit reduced time to degree
Dual enrollment students and likelihood to graduate in 4.56 years or less: If earned 20+ credits the first year – 37% more likely If GPA is 2.88 or above – 24% more likely If continuously enrolled through the second year - 41.3% more likely
Dual enrollment students and likelihood to graduate with a BA: If entered college within 7 months – 27% more likely If earned 20+ credits the first year – 20% more likely If first college entered was not selective – 29% less likely If continuously enrolled through the second year – 23% more
likely
+Graduate Degrees or Credits More DE students in the study sample earned graduate degrees or
credits than did non-participants
Multiple factors teamed with DE participation increased likelihood of earning grad credits or a post-bachelor’s degree
Entering PSE at a four year institution increased the likelihood by 45% (p < .01)
