Take College Courses while in High School
Are you a high school student ready to take the next step in your academic journey?
Point University’s Dual Credit Enrollment program allows you to begin earning college credits while still in high school.
Through this program, academically motivated students can take real college courses from Point University, giving them the opportunity to experience college-level learning while completing their high school diploma. This is a great way to challenge yourself academically and get ahead on your college degree.
Even better, students who participate in the Dual Credit Enrollment program may be eligible for a Dual Enrollment Scholarship after graduating from high school if they are admitted to a Point University residential undergraduate program — helping make the transition from high school to college even more affordable.
