Concurrent enrollment, also known as dual enrollment or dual credit, allows high school students to take college-level courses while still enrolled in high school. These courses typically count towards both high school graduation requirements and college credits.
Concurrent enrollment programs vary by region and educational institutions, but they generally offer opportunities for academically motivated students to experience college-level coursework and get a head start on their college education.
By participating in concurrent enrollment, students can explore potential career paths, challenge themselves academically, and reduce the time and cost of earning a college degree.
Concurrent enrollment is often facilitated through partnerships between high schools and colleges or universities. Students may attend classes on college campuses, online, or on their high school campus, depending on the program's structure.
Dual enrollment allows high school students to take college courses for credit towards both their diploma and future degree.
