Dual, or concurrent, enrollment is the practice of enrolling in college while still a high school student. The majority of states allow dual enrollment, and most welcome home educated high school students as well.  Those utilizing dual enrollment enjoy accelerated learning and the opportunity to begin earning Associate degrees at an early age, setting the stage for either graduating from high school at a higher level of ability and knowledge, or moving on to higher education with a college framework already in place.  Dual enrollment requirements vary from state to state and from school to school. Visit the links below to learn about different aspects of dual enrollment.
