Dual
credit programs deserve an honest look from Texas educators |
by MIKE
VILLARREAL - TribTalk - Texas Tribune | Pub: 08/21
|
Last month, a study made headlines with negative news about a popular program known as dual credit. Dual credit
is a model program that allows qualified high school students to enroll in college courses and simultaneously earn college and high school credit. It’s popular with students because it allows them to get a head-start on college, reduce the cost of college
tuition and complete their degrees sooner.
