Building Community College Capacity to Enhance Student Success and Equity in Dual Enrollment
Julia C. Duncheon; Shasta Buchanan
New Directions for Community Colleges, n207 p117-127 2024
This article uses Austin Community College (ACC) as a case study to illustrate how community colleges can build institutional capacity to provide dual enrollment. First, the manuscript synthesizes background literature on the growth of dual enrollment and implications for community colleges. Then, drawing on interviews from relevant stakeholders and institutional data, the authors describe how ACC reorganized internally to streamline dual enrollment structures and processes. In turn the college was able to strengthen partnerships with the school districts, manage growing enrollments, improve the student experience, and prioritize equity.
