SUPPORT BILL H.3016 Cooperative Dual Credit High School Programs
Why is this important?
We are three graduate students enrolled in a Social Welfare Policy Analysis class at University of South Carolina. As part of our group project, we are creating this petition to advocate awareness about Bill H. 3016: Cooperative Dual Credit High School Programs.
Dual credit high school programs are established to bring high school students the opportunity to begin and/or complete an associates degree, certificate, or vocational program. Another option is for students to earn up to two years of college credit within the four years they are attending high school.
Positive Successes of Dual Credit High School Programs:
(1) decrease in retention rates (2) increase in completion rates (3) admission to four year institutions (4) post graduation employment (5) decrease in dropout rates (6) certification and associates degrees completed
