Abstract	In spite of the well-paying, in-demand jobs that many STEM degrees can lead to, just 18 percent of the 1.9 million bachelor's degrees awarded in the U.S. in 2015-16 (the most recent data available) were in STEM subject areas.3 Given that about 5 percent of workers with a non-STEM undergraduate degree work in a STEM field, a large proportion of a state's workforce is unlikely to secure jobs in these growing occupational areas without first generating and encouraging a student body interested in science, technology, engineering and math. One option for exposing students to these fields and putting them on a pathway toward a degree is dual enrollment -- or the opportunity to take college-level coursework (for college credit) while in high school. This Special Report outlines state-level policy components that help ensure dual enrollment programs in science, technology, engineering and math are broadly accessible, particularly to students traditionally underrepresented in STEM courses.
