DE FINITION OF DUAL CRE DIT

• A cooperative partnership between a high school and a

college enabling high school students to earn college credits while completing the requirements for high school graduation.

IMPACT OF DUAL CRE DIT

The University of Texas studied the impact of Dual Credit programs in Texas. Their findings:

• Dual Credit students are two times more likely than students entering college with no dual

credit to graduate in four years.

• Among students who graduate in four years, dual credit students, on average, graduate
• ne semester earlier compared to students with no prior college credit.
• Students reported that dual credit provides early exposure to college that benefited them

when taking college courses after graduating from high school. https:/ / www.utsystem.edu/ documents/ docs/ ut-system-reports/ 2018/ dual-credit-and- success-college
