Does Completing College-Level Work in High School Result in Baccalaureate Success for Students?

This study probed the predictive effects of accelerated college credits over and above the predictive effects of FAFSA EFC index number, sex, and first-generation status on baccalaureate outcomes on first-time college students. A hierarchical multiple regression on 2,817 students who graduated from a private university in central Arkansas was used. Although the results provided a positive correlation between accelerated college credit and bachelor degree outcomes, the result was generally negligible.
