Description
The promise of completing college-level work in high school is that students will be more prepared for college and have a shorter time to degree attainment, thus saving them on higher education costs. Yet, little research has been conducted to validate these conclusions. Dr. Perkins examined 2,817 students from a private university to determine the predictive effects of high school students completing college-level work on years to completion, graduation GPA, and total hours completed.
