How does Dual Enrollment work?
Answer:
Dual Enrollment programs can vary depending on the school district, but many larger high schools offer introductory college courses or provide access to Dual Enrollment through partnerships with local universities, such as Truett McConnell University. This allows students to simultaneously earn college credits while fulfilling high school graduation requirements.
Students have several options for taking these dual credit courses:
- At their high school (if offered)
- Online
- In person on the Truett McConnell campus
While there are many course options available through TMU, the most common Dual Enrollment courses include:
- English
- College Algebra and Math
- History and Social Studies
- Speech
- Sciences
These courses help students fulfill core college prerequisites, giving them a head start on their higher education journey while still completing high school.
