State-by-State Findings: What Happens to Dual Enrollment Students After High School?

What are the postsecondary enrollment and completion outcomes post-high school among dual enrollment students in your state? Drawing on National Student Clearinghouse data on a cohort of high school students taking dual enrollment (DE) courses nationally, this session featured new research showing who participates in dual enrollment (by race/ethnicity, income, and gender), which types of colleges former DE participants attend after high school (including how many return to their DE college post-HS), and the rates at which former participants earn a college degree within four-year post-HS. Presenters shared key takeaways from the national and state-by-state analysis and demonstrated how to use public data dashboards to showcase state results benchmarked to national averages.
