Get Ahead!  Earn College Credit in High School

 What is Dual Enrollment?

The Dual Enrollment Program allows high school students the opportunity to earn high school and college credit simultaneously, while in their high school classroom. 

Students can pursue a challenging academic curriculum that will complement the high school educational experience.

The University of Toledo is building partnerships with high school districts to provide high-quality coursework and   instruction in the high-demand areas of advanced mathematics, natural science, foreign language and other disciplines. Your high school teacher becomes your college instructor. 

High School students can earn college credit at a fraction of the cost.

Teacher Selection

Dual Enrollment courses are taught by high school teachers with an advanced degree in mathematics, science or foreign languages and/or experience in the discipline.  The high school teacher will partner with a UT professor for training, course planning, and mentoring.

A University of Toledo professor ensures parity between the high school course and the university course. The Dual Enrollment courses have the same content and level of difficulty as classes offered to university students.

“Dual Enrollment is a terrific program to offer high school students as a means to assisting them in their college transition. With Dual Credit courses, students can earn college credit from familiar high school teachers and prepare to be even more successful in their college years.  We believe this will greatly reduce college remediation levels and increase persistence rates while also saving students and families a little money.  Talk about a win-win!  We are thankful to participate in this program with The University of Toledo.”
