Dual Enrollment for Equitable Completion (DE4EC) aims to help California community colleges and their high school partners develop and expand equity-centered dual enrollment programs that strengthen completion outcomes for students underrepresented in higher education. Currently, the DE4EC network consists of 10 community colleges and their high school partners, technical assistance providers, and research and policy experts.

In a new report titled Advancing Equitable Dual Enrollment: Initial Findings from the Dual Enrollment for Equitable Completion Initiative, RDP Consulting — DE4EC’s learning and evaluation partner — examines how DE4EC practitioners “purposefully included historically marginalized students in dual enrollment opportunities.” The report offers insights and recommendations on approaches to achieve more equity-focused dual enrollment programs, emphasizing the importance of diverse outreach and enrollment strategies with inclusive messaging and underlying the need for strong communication, coordination, and collaboration among institutional partners.
