This report provides descriptive national data on the prevalence and characteristics of dual enrollment programs at postsecondary institutions in the United States. For this survey, dual enrollment refers to high school students earning college credits for courses taken through a postsecondary institution. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) previously collected data on dual enrollment and dual credit for the 2002-03 academic year from postsecondary institutions and high schools (Kleiner and Lewis 2005; Waits, Setzer, and Lewis 2005). To gather current data on dual enrollment and dual credit, NCES fielded an updated survey of postsecondary institutions on dual enrollment and a complementary survey of high schools on dual credit. The study presented in this report collected information for the 2010-11 academic year from postsecondary institutions on the enrollment of high school students in college-level courses within and outside of dual enrollment programs, and dual enrollment program characteristics. NCES, part of the Institute of Education Sciences, conducted this survey in fall 2011 using the Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS). PEQIS is a survey system designed to collect small amounts of issue-oriented data from a nationally representative sample of institutions with minimal burden on respondents and within a relatively short period of time. Because the purpose of this report is to introduce new NCES data from this survey through the presentation of tables containing descriptive information, only selected findings are presented. These findings have been chosen to demonstrate the range of information available from the PEQIS dual enrollment study rather than to discuss all of the data collected; they are not meant to emphasize any particular issue. The findings are based on self-reported data from postsecondary institutions. Appended are: (1) Standard Error Tables; (2) Technical Notes; and (3) Questionnaire.

How does the country accelerate Latino student success in higher education? The U.S. has to find programs and strategies that improve the success of Latino students, and then replicate or scale up those programs and strategies to serve more students. Those are the basic principles behind "Excelencia" in Education's Growing What Works (GWW) initiative. The Growing What Works initiative is "Excelencia" in Education's concerted effort to expand the reach of programs increasing Latino student success, as identified through the Examples of "Excelencia," and demonstrating how these programs can be replicated through small SEMILLAS (Seeding Educational Models that Impact and Leverage Latino Academic Success) grants. The results described in this brief were made possible through a working partnership with foundations and institutions of higher education who committed to achieve and propagate demonstrable results in accelerating Latino student success in higher education. This brief includes lessons learned from implementing the Growing What Works initiative and SEMILLAS grants. Critical in this time of great change for higher education and for Latino students is the following lesson. Targeted, well managed financial and human resources focused on Latino student success, not only produce effective results for students, the participating institutions and supporting foundations, but demonstrate the strength and viability of the these strategies to accelerate larger social impact and serve as catalysts for institutional change to increase Latino student success.
