What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment is a program that partners with Palomar Community College. It gives students the opportunity to take courses either on a college campus or online, allowing them to experience the academic environment firsthand. With Dual Enrollment, high school students can take college-level courses and earn college credit at the same time.
The college credits earned through this program are generally transferable to other colleges and universities. These courses offer an authentic college experience and may provide greater course variety than what is available at the high school.
At Orange Glen, we offer two courses on campus:
- Chicano Studies
- Cinema
- Speech Communication
Why Should I Consider Dual Enrollment?
There are several reasons why high school students should work with their parents and schools to participate in dual enrollment programs. These benefits include:
- Experiencing college courses with the support of high school teachers.
- Accelerate college completion, which may reduce student debt for college graduates.
- Save money on tuition costs, which may reduce total student debt for college graduates.
- The dual enrollment classes high school students take may transfer to higher education institutions, depending upon the school
