Several years ago, a student in Middlebury was struggling in high school, unsure of her future. No one in her family had ever attended college.
With encouragement, she took English composition at the Community College of Vermont (CCV) during her senior year of high school. The dual-enrollment course, for which she received both high school and college credit, gave her a taste of success - and a taste of college.
She is currently enrolled at CCV and plans to pursue further education and a career in health care.
Dual enrollment is allowing hundreds of Vermont high-school students the opportunity to take a college course while still in high school. Studies show that if they do so, they are more likely to go to college, to succeed in their studies once they are there, and to graduate.
