Dual enrollment programs allow high school students to enroll in
college courses before high school graduation, giving them
firsthand exposure to the requirements of college-level work and
allowing them to gain high school and college credit
simultaneously. The role of dual enrollments in easing the
transition between high school and postsecondary education was
explored through a review of dual enrollment programs across the
United States. Particular attention was paid to New York City's
College Now program and Wisconsin's Youth Options program. College
Now allows seniors from select New York City high schools to take
up to six credits of college-level courses per semester at their
high school. Whereas College Now focuses on academic subjects and
preparing students for college-level work, Youth Options focuses on
providing young people with expanded curricular choice,
particularly in vocational subjects. Compared with other City
University of New York freshman, College Now graduates earned more
college credit than and were more likely to graduate from college
on time. Youth Options was found to have had a discernible impact
in providing a wide array of curricular options to high school
students, particularly in rural schools. It was concluded that both
delivery models have the potential to improve preparation for
college. (Contains 37 references.).
