High School Dual Enrollment Program
This program is designed to provide an opportunity for qualified high school students to earn college credit. High school credit may or may not be granted according to the discretion of the participating high school. Dual enrollment affords students educational enrichment in specific areas where unusual ability and interest are displayed, especially in courses and academic areas not available in the students' high school.
