Dual Enrollment –Why? • Student gains early exposure to the academic rigor
of college level courses
• Student earns college credit at the same time as high school credit is earned
• Credit earned could transfer to 4-year college
• Saves time and money by potentially decreasing the amount of time to complete 2-year and/or 4-year college degree
(*Shared benefit for AP courses)
