Abstract: Young people are entering college at increasingly higher rates, yet many are under-prepared for the academic challenges they encounter. Educators and policy makers are calling for increased educational opportunities that prepare all students for the rigors of postsecondary education. Accelerated learning opportunities foster smoother and more successful transitions from high school to college while allowing students to earn dual credit (a course or program where high school students can earn both high school and postsecondary credit for the same course). Accelerated learning opportunities can: (1) Prepare students for the challenges of college through a rigorous high school curriculum; (2) Engage seniors by offering interesting, challenging and college credit-bearing courses; (3) Provide students with skills and experiences to ensure student success in transition to college and credential acquisition; (4) Reduce students' college tuition expenditures and shorten the time to degree completion; and (5) Increase communication, collaboration, and curricular alignment between secondary and postsecondary systems. Beginning as early as the 1960s, Oregon educators have been bridging K-12 and postsecondary education through accelerated learning options. A variety of credit options are offered in Oregon including: (1) Advanced Placement (AP); (2) International Baccalaureate (IB); (3) Dual credit; (4) Expanded Options; (5) Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs of Study; and (6) Tech Prep. This publication reports from the National Center for Educational Statistics, 2005; and presents information reflecting national trends which are supported by the findings in the Oregon Dual Credit Study of 2010. Currently there are 17 community colleges and four Oregon university system institutions that offer dual credit options. Postsecondary institutions review high school courses for content, continuity, and college-level appropriateness. Accelerated curriculum & college credit programs are presented in table form and arranged according to the following column headings: Program title, State Program, Program Standards, Federal National International Program, Authority, Funding, Location, Transcripted Credits, Data Reporting Venue, and Cost to Students. Contact information for programs is provided.
