Dual Enrollment
Take college courses today
Highly motivated high school juniors and seniors may apply to earn college credit at Albright College, while still enrolled in high school. Courses count towards an Albright bachelor’s degree or can be transferred to other colleges or universities.
Albright College offers Dual Enrollment courses — covering a variety of topics — each fall, spring and summer session. Dual Enrollment students will spend part of each week day morning taking part in classes on Albright’s college campus and earning college credit.
EARNING COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL
Albright College courses are equal to one unit (the equivalent of 4 credits at most institutions) unless otherwise stated. Students completing four courses (4 units/16 credits) over their junior and senior years of high school will have the equivalent of a full semester complete before beginning college.
GAIN MORE THROUGH TOTAL EXPERIENCE LEARNING
Earn even more college credit, by pairing a Dual Enrollment course with a concurrent TExpL research course. The TExpL introductory research course is equivalent to a ¼-unit (1 credit), so students pairing TExpL with a Dual Enrollment course will earn 1.25 units per semester (the equivalent of 5 credits at most institutions).
RATES
$500 – Dual Enrollment course for high school juniors and seniors
$125 – TExpL introductory research course
$1,561 – Dual Enrollment course for community members and college students not enrolled at Albright
Choosing courses
Students may choose a 100-level college course, offered on a space-available basis. Your first choice may not be available. Students accepted into the Total Experience Dual Enrollment program will also be automatically registered for SPI 101 – Introductory Research. Learn about transferability of Albright College courses.
