Dual Enrollment

Muhlenberg High School and Reading Area Community College (RACC) have an established Dual Enrollment Agreement and approved many Muhlenberg High School courses as dual enrollment courses. Students enrolled in an MHS dual enrollment eligible course may choose to participate in the dual enrollment program.  This program is at the student’s expense. Dual enrollment courses are typically 3 or 4 credits and cost approximately $99/credit. All dual enrollment courses are offered during the school day at MHS. By choosing to participate in the program, students pay tuition directly to RACC, and in turn - college credits are earned while the student is currently in high school.  Below is the list of courses that have been approved for the dual enrollment program, along with RACC’s course equivalencies. **This list is updated annually and is subject to change** Enrollment is voluntary and takes place in September at the student’s expense.
