Abstract: This causal-comparative study researched the effects of dual enrollment and
Huskins Bill course experience on traditional-age North Carolina community college
students. The study examined dual enrollment and Huskins Bill course effects on
academic success, retention and graduation rate using quantitative statistical measures
including parametric and non-parametric means comparisons. The study found that dual
enrollment and Huskins Bill courses showed a positive effect on GPA and graduation rate
and that this effect is evident in technical, medical and college transfer programs. Dual
enrollment and Huskins Bill courses also showed positive effects on GPA and graduation
rates for non-white students and female students enrolled in all programs.
Findings in this study support continuing and expanding dual enrollment offerings
as one aid for college readiness. They also support promoting dual enrollment programs
to help underserved student populations. Recommendations for further research include
more examination of the effect dual enrollment has on four-year students and the
significance of site as a factor in dual enrollment course success.
