A recent collaboration between the professional organization of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), with support from research partner Hobsons, resulted in a November 2016 report which seeks to examine college perceptions of dual enrollment as an enrollment management initiative. According to AACRAO, this work advances the organization's desire to promote college access and affordability (AACRAO 2016). The report examines enrollment management and its utilization of dual enrollment using both quantitative and qualitative measures. AACRAO's work serves to further the conversation on the merits of dual enrollment as an enrollment management strategy, but it does not offer an evidence-based argument that dual enrollment supports broad enrollment management goals. The work most saliently argues that student recruitment can benefit from such programs. The work of AACRAO and Hobsons should serve as a foundation for further research to explore enrollment management outcomes beyond recruitment, such as degree completion time, graduation rates and the education loan debt of former dual enrollment student as compared to non-dual enrolled students, to inform a more compelling argument for colleges and universities to begin and/or increase their commitment to such offerings.
