Benefits of Dual Credit

Many dual credit courses transfer to Texas public colleges and universities, private institutions, and some out-of-state colleges and universities. Completing dual credit courses can accelerate time to degree completion, which also allows students to save money on college tuition. Taking college courses while in high school can help build confidence in students and ease the transition to college, and increase the likelihood of graduating from college.
