Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Education, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
This qualitative case study seeks to understand why some African American students tend not to participate in dual enrollment programs at rates similar to their White counterparts and, therefore, may not be sharing the same benefits and outcomes. Through open-ended interviews with nine African American students, issues related to the low participation rates of African American students in Ohio’s dual enrollment program, College Credit Plus (CCP), are explored. Approaching this case study from a critical race theory (CRT) framework allows the voices and experiences of students of color to serve as reliable data upon which to evaluate this phenomenon. Three major themes emerged from this study: implicit biases among counselors and teachers, lack of care and support of educational goals and dreams, and lack of social capital to obtain knowledge about the CCP program. The results of this qualitative study expand the conversation about dual enrollment to include the voices of marginalized students. The study provides evidence that a different approach is needed in how we identify, support, and enroll African American students into the CCP program. This study provides practical ways to increase the access and enrollment of African American students into the CCP program.
