Dual Credit Programs

Dual credit provides an opportunity to explore career pathways and discover whether a program aligns with personal interests and goals. It also helps ease the transition to post-secondary learning by allowing students to experience college or university expectations while still being supported in high school. Students who take dual credit courses benefit in many ways. They can earn both high school and post-secondary credits at the same time, saving on tuition costs while getting a head start on a diploma, degree, or certificate. Along the way, students build confidence, strengthen study and time management skills, and make valuable connections with instructors, peers, and industry partners. Completing dual credit courses can also enhance post-secondary applications, open access to a wide variety of academic and career-focused opportunities, and even reduce the future course load by earning credits in advance.

All courses are offered tuition-free; however, an application and acceptance process is required. Spaces are limited, and students must meet the eligibility criteria for each specific program.

We are committed to providing students with every advantage through diverse and meaningful learning experiences. With over 50 dual credit courses and long-standing partnerships with multiple post-secondary institutions, we continue to expand our offerings to meet student interests and career goals.
