An Accelerated Pace? Analyzing Graduation and Time to Bachelor's Degree Completion for Students With Accelerated Credit
Sun, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 2nd Level, Harbor Tower, Balboa CAbstract
This study used a longitudinal dataset of nearly 24,000 students to examine the odds of graduation and time-to-bachelor’s-degree completion for students who earned accelerated credit in high school via Advanced Placement (AP), dual enrollment (DE), and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) coursework. The analysis disaggregated outcomes by type of accelerated credit attained, including an analysis of joint accelerated credit attainment (i.e. AP and DE, AP and IB, etc.). This study also examined if points of diminishing returns to accelerated credit existed, finding statistically significant results. On average, students with accelerated credit had higher odds of graduating. While the average student with accelerated credit did not graduate early, students graduated approximately one semester early for every 26 credit hours earned via accelerated coursework.
