Abstract	"Dual enrollment" refers to programs in which students take postsecondary courses while simultaneously enrolled in high school. While programs differ among and within states, all programs share the goal of supporting students to complete their postsecondary education more quickly and cheaply while also fulfilling high school graduation requirements. Dual enrollment programs have been evaluated along varying parameters--primarily program by program rather than across state borders and longitudinally. Nevertheless, studies show that students participating in dual enrollment experience increased postsecondary success, whether measured by increased enrollment in college directly from high school, reduced need for remedial education, higher grade point averages (GPAs) in college, or quicker time to completion. Dual enrollment opportunities exist in each of the six New England states, either instituted by state policy or established and offered by public or private higher education institutions. In order to highlight similarities and differences of programs in the region, the brief provides state summaries along five program features recommended by the Education Commission of the States.
