“I am super glad I did it. It gave me a great perspective of what college would be like. It’s good to be challenged and ready for the faster pace of study in college.”
“The program is such a benefit. They learn how to manage time and to be a college student before they leave home. It’s not for all kids, but kids are also capable of anything they put their minds to.”

Take College Classes Online
As a Montana high school student, you are eligible for the Early College Program,
which allows high school students in any location to take college courses online.
Take any 100 or 200 level classes offered online during fall, spring or summer semesters
and you'll follow the same course deadlines as all undergraduate students also in
the course.
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.
It's as Easy as 1-2-Free
As deals go, it doesn’t get much better than this. At UM we believe so much in the value of jumpstarting your college experience, we offer Montana high school students their first two Dual Enrollment courses tuition free. As in, no tuition. As in, what are you waiting for?
But wait. There's more. Montana high school students also get half off tuition for the rest of their courses until they graduate high school. Yup. Half off.
More Ways to Save as You Learn
Dual Enrollment students needing financial help after completing their two free classes may be eligible for scholarships. To be eligible, you or someone in your household must be participating in an eligible government assistance program such as MT Healthy Kids, Free or Reduced Lunch, Section 8 Housing Vouchers and SNAP/WIC benefits.
