Jumpstart College

Gain knowledge, hands-on experience, and both college and high school credit — all in a class that’s typically part of your regular school day, with your fellow students.

Depending on the subject, you may take dual credit classes at a local high school, or you may attend class at an 亚色视频 location. 

Have you thought about your future career? Taking a dual credit class is a great way to check out a career while getting started on your degree. Plus, you’ll get a feel for what college is really like.

Save Money

By taking dual credit classes, you could save thousands of dollars in college tuition.

  • Classes are free for eligible high school juniors and seniors. Your school district covers the cost of tuition and textbooks, thanks to a partnership between 亚色视频 and the school district. 
  • If you transfer your credits to an 亚色视频 program (or other college/university), you could save big! 

Meet with your high school counselor and/or 亚色视频 career coach to see where your credits will transfer.
