High School Dual Enrollment Program

The High School/College Dual Enrollment Program offers qualifying high school students the opportunity to take college courses while attending high school.  This program allows high school students to enroll concurrently in a college course and receive both high school and college credit for that coursework.

Dual enrollment programs help introduce students to the advantages of post-secondary education while also helping them to more successfully transition into the culture and expectations that are present in college.

Interested students should contact their high school guidance counselor or call the Adult & Graduate Studies office at 724-946-7353 for information about the program.
