WKU Dual Credit offers qualified high school students the opportunity to earn university credit as part of their high school curriculum. We provide high school students early access to college at a fraction of the tuition cost.
The standard of qualifications for high school teachers to teach dual credit courses is the same as for other individuals wishing to teach for WKU on a part-time basis. According to criteria set by the university and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), part-time instructors must have a master's degree and at least 18 graduate hours in the respective field, and these expectations are in place for dual credit instructors as well. As with other part-time instructors, department heads review a potential instructor's resume and educational background before deciding whether or not to approve the individual.
Please submit the following documents to Dual Credit:
New Instructor Letter of Interest
Resume
Transcript (official or unofficial)
After your credentials are received, Dual Credit staff will forward them to the respective department head for review.
