More about Dual Credit

Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment courses offer a unique opportunity for high school students to earn both college credit and high school graduation credit for the same course. By successfully completing an approved Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment course, you can get a head start on your college education while still in high school.

But Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment courses aren't just about getting ahead. They also give you a taste of college-level coursework and help you build the skills and confidence you'll need to succeed in college.

Furthermore, over the last 8 years in Texas, Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment participants had a higher four-year college graduation rate than their non-participating peers at almost every public institution in the state. This means that not only can Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment courses help you get a head start on college, but they can also set you up for long-term success and better outcomes after graduation.
