What is Dual Credit?

"High School Dual Credit courses give qualified high school students an opportunity to enroll in public universities in South Dakota to earn credits for both their high school diploma and college degree.

When taking dual credit courses in South Dakota, not only are you earning high school and college credits—you’re saving time and money in the process. Through the High School Dual Credit Program, students only pay 1/3 of the total cost per credit hour if they meet the System General Education requirements at all six regental institutions."
