The dual enrollment program at Santa Monica College facilitates the school‐to‐college transition and improves access to college for diverse populations. Traditionally underrepresented students, whose college options have suffered in light of a hostile political climate evidenced by the Hopwood decision, Proposition 209, and Proposition 187, may gain access to college curricula and develop a positive academic self‐image based on successful participation in a dual enrollment program.
