South Texas College leads the State of Texas with one of the largest High School

Programs and Services (HSPS) Departments of its kind. Since 2003 the program has

served over 67,000 students, waiving tuition and fees; therefore, saving parents over

$71 million. Working collaboratively with 21 school districts and 68 high school sites,

STC has created innovative, robust academic programs designed to have a direct

impact on increasing college completion rates in our region.

The High School Programs & Services Office performs an essential role in the Academic Advancement

Area by expanding access to higher education through the following programs and initiatives.

Our Purpose: To be a force in creating a pathway to College Readiness and Completion

and to be a key player in increasing the college attainment rate of our region.

Transition

As the chart above indicates the number of dual enrollment students who enroll at STC after

graduating from high school has increased since Fall 2002 semester. In Fall 2012, out of 4,072 FTIC

students who enrolled at STC, 1,426 students had prior dual enrollment courses.

1st Annual Dual Enrollment Principals’ Summit

On August 8, 2012, High School Programs and Services in partnership with the Office of Professional

Development conducted its 1st Annual Dual Enrollment Principals’ Summit. The purpose of the summit

was to bring focus activities that support the continuing quality enhancement of all dual enrollment

initiatives. Over 100 educational leaders, including high school principals, assistant principals,

counselors, directors, and deans from 21 participating independent school districts and South Texas

College attended the Summit .

2012 Star Award Recipient

After being a finalist for the award in 2007 and 2009, the Dual Enrollment Medical Science Academy

(DEMSA) was the winner of the 2012 Texas Higher Education Star Awards.

A PATHWAY TO COLLEGE READINESS & COMPLETION

The dual credit program at STC has become the greatest predictor of college readiness and degree

completion at STC and major universities. STC partners with 68 school sites and offers over 1,000 dual

credit classes to aggressively promote a College Ready, College Going, and College Completion

mission. Over 70% of STC students with prior dual credit hours transfer to the University of Texas Pan

American to continue their higher education. According to UTPA data, in Fall 2010, out of 1,687 students

with prior college hours, 1,173 had STC dual credits. The links to research studies sited below are

available on Dual Enrollment webpage under the Quick Links/Research Resources:

http://academicaffairs.southtexascollege.edu/highschool/

P R O G R A M Q U A L I T Y

Are students taking dual enrollment courses successful when

they transfer to other higher education institutions? Review of

the research in this area indicated that students who take

dual enrollment courses while in high school perform

significantly better than students with no prior dual course

work.  Prior dual students continue their education in higher

percentages , have a higher persistence rate when they enroll at the University, and also graduate at a

higher rate. Critical data came from a study conducted by UTPA that examined the performance of

dual credit students at the University (transferred from STC) to determine if dual credit courses had a

positive impact on matriculation, transfer, success, and completion. This research is most relevant as 70%

of students from STC transfer to UTPA. UTPA Research Question: Is there a significant difference between

students with prior college hours (Any PCH) and those with no prior college hours (No PCH) as it pertains

to Retention rates, Cumulative Grade Point Averages, and Graduation Rates?

R E S E A R C H Q U E S T I O N

Is there a significant difference between students with prior college hours and those with no prior

college hours as it pertains to Retention Rates?

Key Findings: There is a significant association between students with prior college hours

1st year retention rates (2.7 times more likely to be retained)

2nd year retention rates (2.8 times more likely to be retained)

C U M U L A T I V E G R A D E P O I N T A V E R A G E

Is there a significant difference between current cumulative grade point averages of students with

prior college hours and those with no prior college hours?

Key Finding: Students with PCH had significantly higher grade point averages than those without PCH.

6-year graduation rates (3.7 times more likely to graduate)

STC Research and Analytical Services (RAS) conducted original research comparing dual enrollment

student success rates by faculty type. The top 20 dual enrollment student success rates by faculty

type. The top 20 dual enrollment courses for Fall 2009, 2010, and 2011 have been studied to examine

the following question:

Are dual enrollment student success rates comparable to STC traditional students?

F I R S T F I N D I N G

There is no statistically significance difference in most course success rates between STC faculty

teaching the course and the DE faculty teaching the course. The overall results indicate that course

success rates (students passing with A, B, C) for dual enrollment students (regardless of faculty type) is

significantly higher compared to STC traditional students. Below is the comparison for Fall 2011, overall

Dual Enrollment students success rate 86% compared to STC traditional student success rate of 67%

S E C O N D F I N D I N G

To analyze the dual enrollment student

capabilities, the Research and Analytical Services

compared the success rates of students taking

same faculty teaching the same course in both

traditional format (teaching STC traditional

students) and in dual format (teaching dual

enrolled students).

The results indicated that at the College level for

both years, for all courses taught by same STC

faculty member in dual and traditional format, dual student success rates were higher than traditional

STC students by 16%. Overall dual enrolled students have higher success rates as compared to STC

traditional students which indicates that dual enrollment students are able to take dual courses and

outperform STC traditional students. The chart below indicates the result and comparison of DE student

success and traditional student success in the same course taught by STC faculty.

DUAL ENROLLMENT ACADEMIES

Since 2005, South Texas College has been offering a unique opportunity for high achieving high school

students to earn an associate degree from STC while they complete their high school graduation

requirements. The Academies are two-year dual enrollment programs for high school juniors interested

in pursuing a career in health care, engineering, computer science or criminal justice. The

academy are designed to encourage students to explore such careers through college coursework

and Academy program-related activities. Students who complete the program earn an Associate of

Science degree in Biology, Engineering, Computer Science or Criminal Justice by the end of their senior

year in high school.

EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOLS

South Texas College partnered with its first Early College High School (ECHS) in Fall 2008. South Texas

College currently supports 15 ECHS with enrollment that exceeds 5,000 students. Each ECHS is an

autonomous public high school designed to create a seamless transition between high school and

college. By design, ECHS’s are small, innovative high schools that allow students least likely to attend

college an opportunity to earn a high school diploma and two years of college credit. More

importantly, the transition from high school to college is eased by blending high school and college,

curriculum into a cohesive unit.
