Does Dual Enrollment Work?

In this article in Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, Brian An (University of Iowa) reports on his study of the impact of programs that enroll high-school students in some college courses while they are still in high school. His finding: dual enrollment increases the chance of high-school students graduating from college, and is especially beneficial for low-SES students.
