Hi everyone! I was wondering if certain colleges have dual enrollment programs with high schools. If so, which ones should I look into? I'd like to get some college credits done while still in high school. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Yes, many colleges offer dual enrollment programs, allowing high school students to take college-level courses and earn both high school and college credits. This is an excellent way to get a head start on your college education and potentially save both time and money.
The availability of dual enrollment programs may vary depending on your location, but here are a few examples of universities with well-known programs:
1. University of Washington: UW in the High School allows students to take UW courses at their own high schools.
2. The City University of New York (CUNY): College Now offers high school students the opportunity to take a variety of college courses in participating high schools and CUNY campuses.
3. Georgia State University: Perimeter College offers Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit for high schoolers to attend college classes on-campus or online, with courses counting for both high school and college credit.
Keep in mind that each program has its own unique requirements and application process. I suggest you first find out if your high school partners with any local colleges or universities for dual enrollment programs. Reach out to your school counselor, who can provide you with more information on the opportunities available in your area. Also, check the websites of nearby colleges to learn about their specific dual enrollment options.
Good luck, and I hope this helps you on your path to earning college credits while in high school!
