Education College credit program for WA high schoolers sees enrollment jump now that it's free
About 10,000 more students enrolled in Washington’s College in the High School program in the first school year that the dual credit courses were free for all students.
That’s according to data from the Washington State Education Research and Data Center as well as the Council of Presidents, an association representing Washington’s public four-year colleges and universities.
Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation in 2022 making College in the High School classes free and the law went into effect in 2023.
College in the High School differs from other dual credit offerings in Washington — like the popular Running Start program — because the courses are taught at high school by high school teachers using college curriculum and textbooks. College faculty and staff oversee the teachers.
