註釋

Dual enrollment programs continue to grow in the United States; however, little empirical research examines the relationship between this high school experience and future college success and degree attainment. This study examines degree attainment for first-time beginning students who began their postsecondary education at a Virginia Community College during the fall semester, 2002. It follows those students for six years across all institutions attended, comparing degree attainment for two identified groups; students with dual enrollment credit earned prior to fall 2002 (dual enrolled students) and students with no prior dual credit (traditional students). It explores the differences that exist between the two independent samples in regards to attainment of a higher education award and the time it takes to earn a bachelor's degree. It also evaluates whether attainment of a higher education award differs significantly between dual enrollment students who completed identified mathematics and English gatekeeper courses and those who did not.
