NOTE: Percents are based on the 11,400 schools that offered dual credit courses taught on a high school campus or on the campus of a postsecondary institution and do not include schools that offered dual credit courses taught through distance education. The numbers of schools that offered dual credit courses with an academic focus or a career and technical/vocational focus do not sum to all schools that offered dual credit courses taught on a high school campus or on the campus of a postsecondary institution, since many schools offer both academic and career and technical/vocational courses for dual credit. Percentages are based on unrounded numbers. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding or missing data. The study sample had 29 cases for which the percent minority enrollment in the school was missing. Those cases were included in the totals and in analyses by other school characteristics. Definitions of school characteristics and additional tables are available in the NCES report Dual Credit and Exam-Based Courses in U.S. Public High Schools: 2002–03.
