Dual-enrollment health science students show strong college success, with high graduation rates and many entering health professions. This research highlights the benefits of early college credit programs.

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Higher Education Policy
  • Secondary Education

Background:

  • Dual enrollment programs offer high school students opportunities to earn college credits.
  • Health science career programs aim to prepare students for post-secondary education and careers in healthcare.
  • Evaluating the long-term college outcomes of dual enrollment participants is crucial for program improvement and policy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the college outcomes of students who participated in a dual enrollment health science careers program.
  • To assess degree completion rates and time to degree for these students.
  • To determine the proportion of students who pursued health professions degrees.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective descriptive evaluation of 6,831 students enrolled in a dual high school/college program from 1998-2015.

  • Data obtained from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) for 5,315 students in the final dataset.
  • Descriptive statistics were utilized for data analysis using Microsoft Excel.

    • Main Results:

    • Of 2,358 students who graduated college, 71% achieved on-time or delayed completion.
    • 62% of graduates completed associate or bachelor's degrees within 2-4 years; 25% within 3-6 years.
    • 36% of graduates earned health professions degrees, with higher on-time graduation rates at 4-year institutions (95%) compared to 2-year institutions (42%).

    Conclusions:

    • Dual enrollment in health science programs leads to superior college degree completion rates compared to national averages.
    • A significant percentage of participating students successfully transition into health professions.
    • Findings support the expansion of dual enrollment partnerships to enhance student pathways into higher education and health careers.
