Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment is a program that allows high school students (usually juniors and seniors) to enroll in college courses for credit prior to high school graduation. This allows students to transition from high school to college easily. Students can get a taste of what college is like without being completely overwhelmed with a whole new environment.
