Indianapolis, In. — The Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE) recently released a report showing the number of Indiana students earning college credit in high school has increased 15 percent in four years.
The CHE report shows that students who earn college credit in high school are more likely to enroll directly in college after high school and graduate on time or early from college.
In addition, students who opted to earn credit in high school and directly enrolled in college needed less remediation than those who did not. Those who earned early college credits also completed all attempted credits in their first year and returned for a second year of postsecondary education at higher rates than their counterparts.
This report demonstrates the success Indiana students are achieving, and I am proud of their dedication to preparing for their futures.
