How Much is Enough? New Data on Dual Enrollment Dosage
October 20, 2026, 10:45—11:30 a.m.
As dual enrollment has grown across the country so too have studies documenting the benefits of participation on college access, attainment, and other student outcomes. The research on the benefits of dual enrollment has largely measured participation as a “yes” or “no” instead of taking into account the number and type of dual enrollment courses taken. In this session, researchers will share findings from three recent studies examining the amount and types of courses taken through dual enrollment and how this relates to students’ subsequent postsecondary outcomes across five different state contexts. Moderated by NACEP’s Research Commission chair, attendees will walk away with the latest and greatest research on dual enrollment dosage and its implications for program design and implementation.
