Abstract: Dual enrollment serves as a critical lever for improving college access and increasing credential attainment in Louisiana. In 2019, in its public higher education master plan, Louisiana Prospers, the Louisiana Board of Regents identified dual enrollment as a key strategy for meeting the state's prosperity goals by starting students on college coursework while still in high school. This strategic focus has been guided by sustained collaborative statewide leadership. In February 2020, the Louisiana Dual Enrollment Task Force, established by Act 128 of the 2019 Regular Legislative Session, published its first report and emphasized the importance of annual reporting on participation and performance at both the school and institutional levels. This report, the fifth annual statewide analysis of dual enrollment, documents continued growth. In 2024-25, several key initiatives have contributed to the continued scaling and strengthening of dual enrollment statewide: (1) Focus on Rigor and Quality; (2) Expansion of Dual Enrollment Instructors; (3) Streamlining Access and Processes; and (4) Strengthening Pathways to Credentials. These initiatives demonstrate Louisiana's sustained commitment to expanding high-quality dual enrollment while reducing barriers to access and strengthening alignment with postsecondary and workforce pathways. The report findings show that during the 2024-25 academic year, participation reached an all-time high, with more than 43,000 high school students enrolling in over 107,000 courses, representing a more than 60% increase in participation since 2018-19. Students from every parish completed college coursework and an increasing number earned postsecondary credentials before graduating high school. At the same time, the data highlight areas where progress has been uneven, including recent declines in select high-demand fields such as computer science, construction trades, and engineering, as well as lower rates of credential attainment in a small number of regions.
