High School Dual Enrollment Program

The High School Dual Enrollment Program enables a current high school student to enroll in university-level courses at Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà while completing high school graduation requirements. Students are expected to continue working toward completing their high school graduation requirements. The purpose of this program is to supplement a student’s academic plan by allowing the student to pursue college-level coursework that would not otherwise be available. Students accepted into the Dual Enrollment Program will also benefit from a significantly reduced tuition rate.
