As a result of purposeful partnerships with area Institutes of Higher Education, including Technical Schools, Community Colleges and Universities, TISD Wildcat Workforce is proud to offer students opportunities to earn dual credit.

DUAL CREDIT

High School courses offered for dual credit enable high school students to enroll in a college course and simultaneously earn high school credit AND college credit for the course. This course structure enables high school students to earn college credits hours before graduating from high school, making their transition to the collegiate campus smoother and their likelihood of graduating from college greater.

COSTS

Dual credit costs and associated materials are the responsibility of the student.
