Mean Ratings on Primary Learning Assessments of Program/Discipline-Level Competencies: Students in Off-Campus Dual Enrollment Courses and Students in Same On-Campus Courses
This grouped bar chart compares mean performance ratings on primary learning assessments between students in off-campus dual enrollment (DE) courses and students in equivalent on-campus courses across three academic years (2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25), where a rating of 3 represents "meets mastery."
Off-campus DE students consistently demonstrate higher mean performance: 3.41 versus 3.02 (2022-23), 3.39 versus 3.05 (2023-24), and 3.24 versus 3.31 (2024-25). The performance gap is most pronounced in the first two years, with DE students scoring approximately 0.34-0.39 points higher. However, 2024-25 shows a notable reversal, with on-campus students slightly outperforming DE students (3.31 vs. 3.24) by 0.07 points. This shift may reflect evolving instructional practices or changing student demographics, though all groups maintain performance above the "meets mastery" threshold across all years.
