Earn College Credits While You're Still in High School
Get a jump start on college credits while saving time and money through our Dual Enrollment program. Dual Enrollment allows current High School students (usually Juniors and Seniors, but talk to your School Counselor) to take college courses taught by NCC faculty and staff while earning transferable credits toward a future degree. In addition to being a cost-effective way to get ahead on college coursework, it prepares students for what to expect at the next level and sets them up for success in their future academic endeavors. It’s open to any high school student who currently takes college prep, vocational or Honors/AP courses. Interested students can learn more through an online information session available on-demand.
