How does it work ?
The Dual Enrollment Program (DEP) offers dual credit courses that are recognized by American institutions based on California undergraduate educational resources. By completing dual credit courses online, students can earn credits that satisfy U.S. high school graduation requirements and are transferable to North American institutions of higher learning.
The National Center for the Study of Higher Education (NCPR), established by the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education, has released research showing that high school students enrolled in dual credit college courses are 12% more likely to be admitted to an undergraduate program, and 7% more likely to graduate from an undergraduate program, compared to other high school students (Speroni, C. 2011).
Dual credit is highly recognizable
Research shows that students who take dual credit courses are more likely to spend less time and expense getting their undergraduate degree Hughes, T. E. (2016).
Example: Completion of sophomore Jr. A, participate in Novel Prep dual-credit course program, after one year to earn 30 credits at the same time to meet the high school graduation credits, but also can earn transfer credits to the university, helicopter U.S. undergraduate sophomore, you can save nearly 50, 000USD, and undergraduate graduation time is shortened by one year.
Why Dual Credit Program?
Completion of a dual credit program means that a student has earned college-level credits. This not only lays a solid foundation for future study, but also helps students accelerate their college completion. According to statistics, nearly 90% of the top 100 colleges in the United States accept dual enrollment credits as college credits.
