Across the country, two-year colleges are rolling out innovative programs to mitigate climate-related challenges. Community Colleges and Climate Futures, a webinar series sponsored by CCRC and the Foundation for California Community Colleges, aims to help community colleges strengthen their efforts through storytelling and connection. 

To facilitate high school students earning college credit, postsecondary and K-12 educators must collaborate to make decisions about dual enrollment course offerings. In a new CCRC working paper, the authors examined variation in dual enrollment partnerships across Texas and estimated how characteristics of these partnerships predict student success.

As high school dual enrollment continues to expand across the country, an increasing number of students are taking their early college coursework online. In this blog post, CCRC researchers share strategies for implementing online dual enrollment courses in a way that mitigates the risk of sacrificing course quality for access.

This blog post introduces the dual enrollment pathways scale of adoption assessment, a self-assessment tool for colleges and college–K-12 partnerships to compare their current dual enrollment practices against the DEEP framework.

A forthcoming book to be published in August 2025 takes stock of what we have learned over nearly a decade of research on the guided pathways model for whole-college transformation. This blog post, the first in a series, features insights from the book, including practical guidance for community colleges on meeting the challenges they face today.
