Dual Credit Courses
Did you know that high school students can get a jump start on their post-secondary education by earning college credit while still in high school?

Please see the link below for course offerings, descriptions, and registration deadlines.
Students should speak with their school's academic advisor to see if dual credit is a good fit for them.
