Dual Enrollment for College Completion: Findings From Tennessee and Peer States

Dual Enrollment for College Completion: Findings From Tennessee and Peer States

Commissioned by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, this report reviews dual enrollment research and dual enrollment policies in Tennessee and five peer states—Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, and Kentucky. The states were selected for their diverse approaches to education generally and to dual enrollment specifically, as well as their geographic and economic proximity to Tennessee.

The report found that all five peer states support and fund dual enrollment and include a wide range of students in dual enrollment programs. The report also found that the states are moving towards greater structuring of dual enrollment.

A final report submitted to the Nashville of Commerce identifies specific dual enrollment policy proposals based on this review, as well as opinions of Tennessee stakeholders.
