The Case for Federal Investment in Dual Enrollment

Where someone lives should not determine whether they get the chance to earn college credit before they graduate high school. But that is exactly what is happening today. Decades of research show that dual enrollment, the practice of allowing high school students to take college courses, is one of the most effective tools we have for closing college access and completion gaps.

Still, access still depends heavily on zip code, family income, and the resources of a student's school.
