Top Colleges Eliminate Student Loans, Cutting Debt with Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment, a program that allows high school students to take college-level courses, is growing in popularity as more students recognize the benefits of earning college credits while still in high school. This strategy can shorten the time it takes to complete a high school diploma and one to two years of college coursework, potentially saving students money in the long run. However, while dual enrollment has shown positive outcomes for students, there is a need for improved outreach to underserved students and families to address equity gaps and ensure equal access to these programs.
