The Huskins and Dual Enrollment programs provide an accelerated opportunity for many high school students who are ready for the challenge of college coursework. For juniors and seniors, in particular, college courses may help you meet your goals earlier.
Students may choose a course from a long list of offerings designed to connect their previous high school coursework, their chosen career pathway, and their post-secondary plans rather than taking elective courses at the high school level that may or may not relate to potential career choice.
Huskins courses and most Dual Enrollment courses are particularly appealing in that students can earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. Even more appealing students pay NO TUITION for Huskins classes. Features include:
