This accessible guide is for school leaders and higher education administrators who seek to develop and expand effective early college and dual enrollment programs in their communities. One of the first books to bring together research in a practical way, the second edition of this invaluable resource is full of real stories, critical insights from leaders, teachers and students, examples of what works and does not work, and practical strategies to help students successfully make an important jump in their lives, putting them on track to post-secondary education and a career.

New to this fully revised edition are two new chapters – one on the challenge of creating equitable early college and dual enrollment programs and one on the role of Career Technical Education programs – as well as additional information about concurrent enrollment and accreditation, and new research throughout to strengthen program effectiveness.

Whether you are starting a program from scratch or want to improve an existing dual enrollment and early college program, this book will provide you with the research base, tools and resources to design a strong academic program, build appropriate support for students, create professional development for faculty and program staff, and to think creatively about financial sustainability of these efforts, ultimately providing guidance and inspiration on the journey to creating an effective program.

Praise for the previous edition

"Drawing heavily on his experience with dual-enrollment programs in Michigan and Massachusetts, as well as others around the country, Olwell offers a practical overview of the benefits and challenges of these programs and a working theory as to why they’re often as fragile as they are.

It touches, too, on student mental health, the unique issues facing STEM classes, the unique issues facing social science classes (THANK YOU), and the outsize mind space taken up by the selective college admission process when drawing up policies."

Matt Reed, from the review in Inside Higher Ed
