Over the last decade, landmark legislation, multi-million-dollar investments, and the research, policy, and advocacy communities have helped inform and support the growth of dual enrollment in California. Dual enrollment, or taking college courses while in high school, can also give students greater access to math--a core subject that has long been the biggest barrier to high school and college success. Furthermore, certain dual enrollment programs promote gains in academic outcomes among student groups who have been underserved by higher education in the past. Expanding access to gateway math through dual enrollment is a step in the right direction for putting California students on the path to college. CCAP can further this goal by prioritizing math access for underserved groups. Dual enrollment math programs overall will benefit from stronger support for students and staff, a boost in the supply of math courses, and collaboration between high school and college instructors. This study explores the challenges and opportunities to using dual enrollment as a strategy to improve access and success in math.
