Dual Enrollment
What Is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment offers qualified high school students the opportunity to receive college credit at NO COST or a relatively low cost while they complete their high school education. Dual enrollment is an excellent way to gain high school and college credit simultaneously. Dual enrollment classes are college classes that are available to high school junior and senior students.
