Update: Dual Credit Programs Enrollment. Report to the Legislature
Mahoney, Katherine; Reykdal, Kim
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
Dual credit courses give high school students the potential to earn both college and high school credit at the same time, either through completion of a college-level course or through performance on an exam. The 2019 Supplemental Operating Budget (Senate Bill [SB] 6032, Sec. 501 [30]) provided funding intended to reduce the cost of dual credit exams for students experiencing poverty in some course types. In 2017-18, 9,032 students benefited from this program. There is a strong commitment between K-12 and higher education organizations, as well as nongovernmental organizations, to increase equitable access to high-quality dual credit programs for ready and interested students. Washington is poised to make systemic changes to the dual credit system that will increase opportunities for students across our state. This annual update examines statewide enrollment patterns of students in dual credit programs.
