Dual Credit Information

What is Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment?

Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment is an option for qualified high school students to take courses that satisfy requirements for earning both a high school diploma and a college degree. This option gives high school students the opportunity to receive credit for high school and college by taking courses that are taught in the high school, during the regular high school day, and taught by qualified high school teachers.

PNC Dual Credit/Concurrent Courses

Students from area high schools are enrolled in one, two or several of these courses. Some students have graduated from high school with up to 24 hours of college credit.

Cost for Dual Credit Courses

One of the benefits of taking dual credit courses in the high school is the tuition assistance program. Tuition fees for the Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment Program are $93.45 per credit hour with no additional fees, as compared to more than double the cost of tuition and fees for on-campus classes. Typically, the cost of books is included in the high school's book rental. Students taking dual credit courses in their high school who qualify for free/reduced lunch receive 100% tuition assistance.
