Running Start
Running Start credits are held in equally high regard as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate.The Running Start program in Washington state was piloted in the early 1990s and officially approved to begin in the fall of 1993.Fee waiver for additional credits might be available if the student belongs to low-income family (e.g., enrolled in free or reduced lunch program in high school).[13] Since the popularity of dual enrollment programs such as Running Start, college professors are noting a decrease of middle-class American students in their classrooms.Both programs are capable of reducing a mass amount of money that would otherwise go into years spent at university, although concurrent enrollment eliminates certain fees that a student would have to pay in Running Start.
