Student Benefits of Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment is particularly effective in helping students who have experienced poverty to access post-secondary education and economic opportunity. According to research, dual enrollment students:

• Experience higher rates of enrollment in two and four-year colleges.  The benefits are even greater for students whose parents never attended college.
• Demonstrate more positive attitudes towards earning post-secondary degrees.
• Are more likely to persist through the second year of college than non-participating students.
• Tend to earn higher college GPAs and more postsecondary credits than their peers.

Community Benefits of Dual Enrollment

• Local colleges retain students after they graduate from high school.
• After graduation from college, students stay in the area.
• Stronger, more qualified workforce within the community.
• Technical degrees offer graduates who are in high demand for high wage, skilled  professions.
