Vision

The Dual Enrollment Coalition AZ enhances and expands dual enrollment programs across the state, leading to increased post-secondary attainment.​ 

Building off the four strategic goals created in 2022, we have identified these priorities for 2025: ​

1. Students and Families: Ensure that at least 50% of high school students graduate with a minimum of 12 college credits applicable to a post-secondary pathway. Raise family and student awareness of dual enrollment benefits. ​ 
2. Teachers and Faculty: Increase the number of educators becoming dual enrollment certified and the number of high school teachers pursuing graduate courses.​ 
3. Intentional Alignment: Develop a common language, statewide goals, and policy agenda regarding enrollment and resources.​ 
4. Administration and Planning: Launch and grow the Dual Enrollment Coalition AZ membership and engagement, to improve coordination and alignment among stakeholders.
