Hey, I'm considering the Univ. of Wyoming, but I want to know if they offer a dual enrollment program for high school students. Could it be a good way to get some college credits knocked out beforehand?
The University of Wyoming does indeed have a Dual and Concurrent Enrollment program that allows eligible high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. This can be an excellent way to get a head start on your college coursework and potentially reduce your time and costs in college.
You can enroll in these college-level classes either at your high school (taught by approved high school teachers), on the University of Wyoming campus, or online. This also provides a practical insight into college-level coursework and expectations, which can aid in your transition to full-time college study.
It's important to know that not all credits may be transferable to other universities if you decide to attend a different school. Therefore, it could be beneficial to discuss your plans with both your high school guidance counselor and a University of Wyoming admissions counselor to help ensure that the credits you earn will be applicable to your intended college degree. Remember that while this program can be a great way to get ahead, you should also balance the workload with your current high school responsibilities.
