Why Standards and Credentials Matter in Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment is surging, offering high school students a way to earn college credit and reduce education costs at a time when the value of college is under debate.
However, differences in standards and credit transfer practices mean some credits don’t count, leaving students with incomplete pathways to degrees or careers.
As participation rises, the challenge is not just access, but alignment. Without shared standards and interoperable credentialing systems, students can face roadblocks when moving between high schools, colleges or into the workforce.
Emerging approaches in digital standards and verifiable credentials aim to create clearer pathways and help ensure that every credit has value.
Dual enrollment has grown rapidly, allowing students to earn college credit as early as their sophomore year.
