Benefits of Dual Credit Students
Save Time
The more courses you take through dual enrollment, the fewer you'll need to complete after high school to earn a college degree. In some cases, you may earn enough credits to complete a two-year Associate Degree or Level One Certificate before graduating from high school!
Gain Valuable Skills
College-level work requires a good deal of responsibility, time management, and independence. Learning these skills through dual enrollment is fantastic preparation for life in college, the workplace, and society
Earn Credits for Transfer
All core curriculum courses have been converted to ensure that if you decide to leave for another institution, your credits may transfer. To see if a course will transfer to a college or university in Texas, visit www.tccns.org
Save Money
Students earn college credits at a reduced rate before graduating from high school thus reducing their college tuition costs and accelerating their college degree program.
