Dual Enrollment Programs

Pennsylvania's Dual Enrollment program allows school districts to partner with colleges and universities to offer high school juniors and seniors, who can show they are ready, the chance to earn college credit while completing their high school requirements. The program is designed to encourage a broader range of students to experience postsecondary education by allowing the student to concurrently enroll in postsecondary courses and to receive both secondary and postsecondary credit for the coursework at a reduced cost to the student.

  • Junior or senior year of high school.
  • Have at least a 3.0 (B) unweighted cumulative grade point average.
  • Have the minimum scores on one of the following aptitude tests:
