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.
