Infographic: Explore State-by-State FindingsDespite the potential benefits of dual enrollment, the research raises important questions about why student outcomes varied substantially by state and often by income. The authors encourage colleges and states to monitor dual enrollment students, both while they are in high school and after they graduate, using the measures and results presented in this report to benchmark their performance nationally and by state. Working with their high school partners, colleges can examine what strategies are working to help dual enrollment students enroll in college after high school and earn college credentials in a timely fashion, and what additional steps are needed to improve college access and success for all students.
