Tulsa Community College Seeing Drop In High School Students Taking Dual Credit
Tulsa Community College said they are seeing a drop in their enrollment numbers for high school students who are taking college courses.
They are encouraging students to enroll. Dual Credit classes allow high school students to get both college and high school credit at the same time, but the college said they are seeing fewer students sign up this year. So, when they get to a four-year institution, they transfer those credits, and they can take courses in their major sooner, said Mary Cantrell, Tulsa Community College.
Cantrell, the George Kaiser Family Foundation Endowed Chair for Concurrent Enrollment, said the COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on the program.
