Dual Enrollment
Earn High School AND College Credit At The Same Time!
Embedded Files
Dual Enrollment, also known as JumpStart to College, lets College and Career Ready high school students (target audience 11th and 12th graders) take college courses at Montgomery College (MC) that count for both high school graduation and college credit. One of the goals is to provide an opportunity for high-achieving students to challenge themselves and earn college credits while still in high school. Credits earned at MC may be transferred to other colleges or universities. Please reach out to your school counselor or Dual Enrollment Program Assistant (DEPA) for more information.
