By dual-enrolling, you can save about $500 per college course and complete up to a year of college before high school graduation. Dual enrollment classes are shorter than AP classes (1 semester vs. 1 year) and credit doesn’t depend on an exam score. Early College also allows high school students save significantly on college tuition costs and earn an associate college degree faster. |
