This study considers whether dual enrollment is associated with students' financial outcomes over a longer, twelve-year time horizon after high school graduation than previously analyzed in the existing literature. Using longitudinal administrative data that span K-12, higher education, and the workforce, we conduct a propensity score analysis to understand how dual credit participation among the class of 2011 graduates from high schools in one metropolitan area in Texas correlates with wages and student debt measured through the second quarter of 2023. While we find that dual credit participants are more likely to hold student loan debt on average than non-participants, we also observe higher annual earnings on average among dual credit students--4% to 9% more--compared to non-participants, despite the impact of COVID-19. While earnings become more nuanced when restricting our sample by student population, our results generally suggest that dual credit relates positively to distal measures of students' financial wellbeing.
