The Dual-Credit Explosion at Illinois' Community Colleges.
Andrews, Hans A.
Community College Journal, v71 n3 p12-16 Dec 2000-Jan 2001
Dual-credit programs allow students to enroll in college courses for credit while still in high school. These programs significantly reduce the time required to achieve an associate or baccalaureate degree, thereby reducing the cost both to the student and to the state. Many states are providing legislative support for program expansion. (Contains 12 references.) (PGS)
