Concerns expressed by business leaders, policymakers, and the public include too few students enrolling in higher education (Carnevale and Rose 2015), the affordability of college (Looney and Lee 2018), and decreasing levels of college completion (Shapiro et al. 2015) .  \nOne solution to address these issues has been to enroll students in college-level courses and certificate programs while still in high school. Students are enrolled in college acceleration courses where they are awarded college credit toward technical or degree-granting colleges upon completion and often receive high school credit. Students who enroll in college acceleration courses are more likely to graduate from high school, enroll in college within one year of receiving their diploma, and are less likely to need developmental college courses (Shields et al. 2021) . While most studies examined courses in which students receive both high school and college credit, the present analysis looks at all college courses students participated in regardless of whether they received high school credit.  \nHistory  \nHigher education institutions offered enrollment to high school students starting 50 years ago (Miller et al. 2017). California was the first state to adopt a policy establishing dual credit courses (Mohker and McLendon 2009). Other early adopters include Arkansas, Virginia, and Utah. Between 1976 and 2000, 16 additional states adopted college acceleration policies. In the next 20 years, 23 more states adopted policies that promoted college acceleration courses. Currently, only three states lack a formal college acceleration policy: Alaska, New Hampshire, and New York (Miller et al. 2017) .  \nEarly research showed that enrollment was limited to academically gifted students (Iatarola, Conger, and Long 2011; Speroni 2011a). Justifications for such restrictions focused on providing a challenging curriculum to bored students (Bailey and Karp 2003). Systemic policies prevented more students from enrolling by establishing eligibility criteria. For example, Texas requires students to meet a specific score on standardized tests (Miller et al. 2017). Florida requires both GPA and placement exam scores (Tobolowsky and Allen 2016). In response to legislators’ concerns regarding the cost of college acceleration programs, some states require students to pay tuition and fees for college acceleration courses (Bailey, Hughes, and Karp 2002) . At one time, the Chicago school district superintendent proposed capping the number of students who could enroll. In other cases, eligibility is determined by individual institutions (Museus, Lutovksy, and Colbeck 2007; Pierson, Hodara, and Luke 2017) . Current research demonstrates that these restrictions remain (Duncheon and Relles 2020; Miller et al. 2017; Museus, Lutovksy, and Colbeck 2007; Roughton 2016) .  \nOne response to these barriers has been the promotion of “early college high schools.” Supported through the Early College High Schools Initiative in 2002, over 280 such schools now exist. Early college high schools are small schools where all students are expected to take college-level courses. Often, these schools are housed on a college or university campus.
