Dual Learning and Early College Opportunities!

Programs that allow students to take college-level classes while still in school help prepare them for future academic success. Across the United States, about 2.5 million students participate in dual enrollment programs, giving them the opportunity to earn college credit while still completing their regular studies. These programs help students build confidence, strengthen critical thinking skills, and explore future career interests.

Studies show that about 82% of public high schools offer dual enrollment opportunities, and students who participate are more likely to attend college after graduation. In California, many students are able to graduate with college credits already completed. Opportunities like these help students challenge themselves academically and prepare for the transition into higher education and future careers.
