High School is the Perfect Time to Start College

Our Dual Enrollment Program offers so many advantages every high school junior and senior should sign up.

Not only does this program help jump start your collegiate career and tune your muscles for the rigors of undergrad studies, it will save you money. Huge money.

Students are able to knock out at least one semester of college while participating in the program, which means even more savings on all the other costs that come with college.
