What is Dual Enrollment?
In Dual Enrollment, students enroll in approved college credit courses and receive college and high school credit while still in high school. These courses provide options for students ready for additional rigorous learning opportunities. Students can attend classes at the PHSC campus as part of their regular high school schedule.
