Dual Enrollment Programs and Courses for High School Students at Postsecondary Institutions: 2010-11 First Look - NCES provides comprehensive national data on the prevalence and characteristics of dual enrollment programs at postsecondary institutions. For example, 53% of institutions reported high school students took credit within or without a dual enrollment program, a total of 1,413,500 students.
