Northwest Dual Credit

Offering Dual Credit courses provides a competitive edge to students saving time and money.

What is Dual Credit?

Dual Credit is designed for high school students to get a jumpstart on their college degree by completing college courses at a significantly discounted rate. Dual Credit courses are offered in partner high schools with instructors that are approved to teach our college courses. Online Dual Credit courses are available to high school students that don't have qualified instructors in their high schools.
