From the Paper:

"In recent years some students in high school have been allowed to take college-level courses that count towards their high school diploma and towards an associate degree. Earning college credit while still in high school can afford many students opportunities that are not available to students in traditional settings. For instance, by the time a student graduates from high school, he or she may have earned credits that will transfer and assist in training for the military, jobs, technical schools or college often at a reduced tuition cost or, in some cases, at no cost to the students (Bailey, Hughes, & Karp, 2002; Rajala, 2003)."
