Dual Credit Program for additional elective credit
The Dual Credit program is a high school/college initiative where high school students are enrolled in apprenticeship training and/or a college course. Upon successful completion of the college learning requirements, students earn credits towards both their high school diploma and their college education. It is also a great opportunity to gain a better understanding of the field of study as well as a college experience. This program is recommended for students in grade 11 or 12.
