Thomson, Alec
Thought & Action, v33 n2 p51-62 Sum 2017

The exact nature of each dual enrollment program varies from state to state, but generally students earn college credits when they pass their classes. In this article, the author discusses the recent expansion in dual enrollment and why that is a cause for concern.
