Summary:

Initiated in part as a proposal to reform U.S. high schools, concurrent enrollment programs enable high school aged students to take college level course work and receive college credit often while enrolled in high school. The number of institutions supporting these programs and the number of students participating in them have grown over the last decade. Concurrent enrollment programs can be best described as a secondary/postsecondary school hybrid. This unique status presents federal funding and compliance issues. This report provides a history of these programs and a description of the different types of programs, including participation data. It also includes a discussion of selected federal issues.
