Dual Credit

Washington State offers four programs that allow students to earn both high school and college credit (Dual Credit) at the same time. Students may earn college credit through multiple programs at multiple colleges and universities while in high school, but only once per course. Benefits of these programs include:

• Free or reduced-cost college credits
• Priority registration as a continuing student
• Rigorous courses in high school ease academic transition to college
• Setup college accounts for two- and four- year colleges across the state
• Students may be able to graduate college sooner
• College credits may result in higher military pay
