Dual credit participant characteristics
- More likely to be female and white or Asian.
- Less likely to be part of an underrepresented minority (URM)
group.
- Slightly more likely to be from low-income families (but less likely
if both low-income and minority).
- Starting in 2016, the percentage of Kentucky college students
with dual credit is higher than the percentage without, possibly due to CPE’s dual credit policy and Kentucky’s dual credit scholarships.
