Colorado’s dual enrollment programs continue to grow

High school college-going rate remains consistent, but gaps linger
Nearly 56 percent of Colorado’s high school class of 2016, about 56,200 students, enrolled in a postsecondary institution directly after graduation, and gaps remain in key success indicators among white and minority students. Read the report and the press release.
New attainment numbers show growth among minority groups
Colorado's attainment rate increased from 55 percent in 2017 to 56.2 percent in 2018, measured by the number of adults ages 25-34 with a credential beyond a high school diploma. Read the press release.
Working with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, we advocate, develop policies and support students to maximize higher education opportunities for all. We believe every Coloradan should have an education beyond high school to pursue their dreams and improve our communities. Read our Master Plan.
