Dual Credit

Dual Credit (sometimes called Dual Enrollment) courses can be a significant advantage for students who homeschool during high school. Basically, high school students can enroll in classes at a college or university and receive both high school and college credit simultaneously. A motivated student can actually earn an Associates Degree while still in high school. Transferable dual credit courses meet A-G requirements. Enrollment fees are waived for high school students who enroll in California Community Colleges. Additionally, many private colleges and universities nationwide offer Dual Credit courses online. Dual Credit courses are usually transferable from one university to another. Below are some options to consider, but there are many more.
