Dual enrollment provides students the unique opportunity to get a head start on their higher education goals.

Dual enrollment enables high school students or students attending a noncredit or adult education high school diploma or equivalency program the opportunity to take college courses, taught by college professors, at their school campus. These courses can also count toward your high school diploma (or adult equivalency) allowing students to get a head start on their higher education goals.
