The purpose of this paper is to explore the development of re‐engaging American youth via the application and process of dual‐credit. Whereby, the dual‐credit phenomenon will stimulate debate on its impact within the educational hierarchy.

A recently published work by Dr Hans Andrews, The Dual‐Credit Phenomenon, was critiqued in conjunction with a number of other recently published materials. Dr Andrews' work was used as a cornerstone on which the other materials could lay to facilitate discussion on the issue of education and the impact that it was having on the youth of America.

Dr Andrews' work focuses on addressing the needs of gifted or mature students ready for college. The dual‐credit process, whilst successful, is only partially addressing the needs of all disengaged students.

The paper looks at the impact on the dual‐credit process and attempts to look further into the problem of youth disengagement by suggesting possible courses of action based on the significant contributions that Dr Andrews' work has highlighted with respect to the processes and applications associated with dual‐accreditation.
