The Illinois Board of Higher Ed put out a report on enrollment at the public universities in the state. You can read it here: https://www.ibhe.org/datapoints/pdf/IBH ... 022-23.pdf

Most of this isn't really new...for data going back a while, I've been tracking all universities back to 2005 and a few for a few years before that:


But, there was something interesting in Table 2 on page 4, Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment. The combined total of all state universities Dual Credit enrollment minus EIU is 316. EIU's is 2,325.
Dual Credit/Enrollment is usually HS students taking low-level college courses, but I'm not quite sure how EIU is counting things to have such a huge number of them.
