| Abstract: | This study examined the relationship of tech prep and dual credit to college readiness in reading, writing, and math and retention, measured as total college-level credit hours earned. A sample o f 612 high school graduates who enrolled in a community college in two consortia, one in Florida (n = 339) and the other in Oregon (n = 273), drawn from the Community College and Beyond (CC&B) dataset, were examined. Results of the f-test and correlation coefficients supported significant relationship between tech prep participation and dual credit hours earned. Multiple regression and logistic regression results showed interaction effects between tech prep and career technical education (CTE) dual credit hours earned on college retention. In addition, significant interaction effects were found between tech prep participation and academic dual credit on math readiness. Implications for administrators and suggestions for future research were discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
