This study focused on participation and outcomes related to CTE dual enrollment courses, specifically for students enrolled in the Career and College Program (CCP) - the statewide dual enrollment program in North Carolina (NC). The authors noted that their study is the first to examine a statewide CTE dual enrollment initiative. It was funded by a grant awarded to the University of NC at Greensboro by the Institute of Education Sciences (within the US Department of Education). The study sought to (1) explore the impact of student completion of CTE dual enrollment courses on secondary and postsecondary outcomes and (2) uncover whether differences exist for particular student populations.
