Dual-Credit Classes

Dual-credit classes are an easy way to earn college credit while you're still in high school-for a greatly reduced cost compared to what you would ordinarily pay in tuition.

Colleges throughout the state offer high school students the opportunity to enroll in dual-credit programs, in which you earn both high school and college credits for taking one class.

Yes, the coursework is challenging-these are college-level classes, after all-but you cut your college costs in addition to shortening the amount of time you spend in college.

Check with your guidance counselor to find out what dual-credit courses are available at your high school.
