Washington CTE Dual Credit Project: Final Report (2022)

RTI International · 2022

The growth of dual credit has brought new opportunities to many thousands of students but has also meant new challenges for institutions, program administrators, and instructors. Effective dual credit programs must balance the policies and practices of two systems—K–12 and higher education—which may be unclear or conflict (Duncheon & Relles, 2020). As dual credit options and the number of students participating have increased, secondary and postsecondary staff need comprehensive and consistent policy guidance and information on effective program practices.
