 What is Dual Enrollment?
The term dual enrollment refers to an arrangement between a high school
and college or university where high school students are enrolled in college
courses that count for both high school and college credit. These programs
are also called dual credit or concurrent enrollment.
A national educational program that allows high school students to earn
college credit well before the end of their senior year in high school. For
students who plan to attend postsecondary education, dual enrollment
programs offer an advantage in progressing through college and saving on
college costs in the process.
Dual enrollment supports the No Child Left Behind Acts goal of encouraging
greater academic rigor during the high school experience.
At its core, dual enrollment allows students to progress to their next academic
challenge without having to wait until high school graduation.
 Benefits of Dual Enrollment

challenged throughout their high school career.

bachelors degree attainment.

credits and shortens their time to degree
completion.
P
rovides students with a more realistic outlook on
the academic and social skills needed to succeed

college courses.

may be otherwise unable to take advantage of at
