Dual Enrollment Program

Imagine: you're still in high school, but you're already tackling real college courses, earning credits that count toward your degree. That's right, you'll be bridging the gap between high school and college, sharpening your critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and basically becoming a college pro before you even get your high school diploma.

Our program features college-level courses taught within local high schools. We partner with a number of local school districts, empowering you to earn college credits without leaving your familiar learning environment. Explore our growing list of dual enrollment courses and schools and see how you can get ahead!
