The vast majority of high schools around the country offer some AP and IB courses, but many also offer students the opportunity to enroll in college courses while in high school. If students pass, the credit they earn counts both towards their high school graduation requirements and their college degree. So-called dual enrollment has grown widely popular in recent years with the widening acceptance and popularity of online courses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Every U.S. state except New York has a dual enrollment policy in place, and 32 states offer a &#8220;virtual program&#8221; of some kind, according to policy comparisons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecs.org\/dual-concurrent-enrollment-policies\/\">created the Education Commission of the States<\/a>. High school students don\u2019t even need to travel to a different campus to earn these credits. What\u2019s more, many districts have established free or low-cost options to allow students to pursue these dual enrollment courses at a significant discount. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This all seems like a really good deal. But for students taking them, and schools thinking about offering them, there are a numerous factors to consider and misconceptions to be aware of. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Earning College Credit Is As Simple as Passing the Class<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In comparing AP with dual enrollment, there appears to be a clear winner on the face of things. AP students spend two semesters studying for a high-stakes test (which they have to pay for). If one manages to score a 3 or above on the test, one <i>might <\/i>be able to get college credit for it. Some schools require students score a 4 or a 5 on the test to confer credit. And if credit is conferred, it\u2019s likely to count as an elective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dual enrollment students, meanwhile, might not have to pay for their course, and it only lasts one semester in most cases. If online courses are available, they don&#8217;t even need to go out of their way to get it done. But if one doesn\u2019t pursue one&#8217;s degree at the college where one has earned a dual enrollment credit, transferring that might be more difficult than the AP process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">College credits are far less standardized than AP exams, which are all administered by the College Board. As such, many find it more difficult to get their dual enrollment credit to count on their transcript. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dual Enrollment Is Only For High-Achievers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Again, like AP, many dual enrollment programs have the reputation of catering to high-achieving, college-bound learners. In many instances, that is not entirely true. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many districts have also created programs to introduce under-served communities and those who would become first-generation college students into higher education. For example, Holyoke Public Schools in Massachusetts offers the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hps.holyoke.ma.us\/early-college-program\/\">Early College Program<\/a> \u201cto help make college and career attainment accessible to all students in the community, while specifically serving low-income students, English language learners, students of color, and first-generation college students,\u201d according to the district site. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The district partners with Holyoke Community College and Westfield State University to offer the initiative. It lasts three years (beginning in 10th grade), and besides college courses, includes a \u201ccollege readiness acceleration course\u201d to help students get up to speed. It\u2019s completely funded through the district. Successful students enter college with 15 (hopefully) transferrable credits. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dual Enrollment Makes a Big Impact on Underserved Communities<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While these programs exist, many are used primarily by students who would have enrolled in college anyways. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI have not yet seen dual enrollment as a nexus for college for students who were not otherwise predisposed to it,\u201d said Patrick Burke, principal of South Burlington High School in Vermont, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/personalize-learning-is-now-in-effect-throughout-vermont-secondary-education-heres-what-it-looks-like\/\">previous interview with <i>eLearning Inside<\/i><\/a>.\u00a0\u201cI have seen early college start to do that a little bit, but we still have our training wheels on.\u00a0Most kids who are doing dual enrollment in my school right now were probably predisposed toward going to college anyway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The organization Equal Opportunity Schools works to increase equity in AP, IB, and dual enrollment programs in schools around the U.S. Speaking to Illinois-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northernpublicradio.org\/post\/opportunity-precedes-achievement-how-advanced-placement-and-dual-credit-are-working-illinois\">Northern Public Radio<\/a>, Chief Program Officer Sasha Rabkin said, \u201cOur data shows that only about 2% of programs in the country are representative of the demographics in their building.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Dual enrollment programs are no doubt becoming an important aspect of high school education, a potential means to get students preparing for college, and, in some cases, a way to save a huge amount when paying for college. The availability of online courses make it even easier to pursue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">But the entire equation has yet to be solved. To begin tackling the issue of student debt and college completion, policymakers might consider ways to ease the transfer of college credits earned in high school and incentivize participation in these programs by underserved learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image: Vincent Van Zalinge, Unsplash.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Correction: August 28, 2019.
