Dual Enrollment

What is Dual Enrollment?

The Dual Enrollment Program is the result of an agreement* between participating high school districts, Glendale Community College and the Maricopa Community College District. GCC's Dual Enrollment Program is a great way for high school juniors and seniors to get a head start on their college education.

Why Dual Enrollment?

Through the Dual Enrollment Program, students:

• Enroll in college courses taught at their high school.
• Earn college credits for the same course.
• Transition from high school to college.
• Receive a quality college experience in a familiar and comfortable environment.
• Save money by paying low community college tuition.
• Earn credits that transfer to colleges and universities and apply towards degree or certificate programs.
• Take academic college-level courses and/or career and technical courses.
• Receive instruction by high school teachers that meet community college certified requirements.
