The Tennessee Board of Regents System (TBR), and its community colleges are positioned to improve retention rates by giving greater attention to their dual enrollment students. This brief study of one cohort of students at Walters State Community College (WSCC), located in East Tennessee, noted a major disparity in retention between students with dual enrollment experience and those without, suggesting an extant need to give particular consideration to institutional approaches designed to reinforce the dual enrollment programs and the students’ experience in said programs. Doing so may not only address the initiative of providing high quality dual enrollment classes to high school students but also improve institutional retention rates.

Inspired by youth development systems that have long been in place in other high-performing nations, the Pathways to Prosperity initiative is helping states create seamless transitions from high school to college and the workforce. This model calls upon educators, business leaders, and government officials to work together to design opportunities for young people to explore potential careers, complete paid internships in growing fields, get an early start on relevant college coursework, and earn industry-recognized credentials.
