Benefits of Dual Credit
Area high school students can earn college credits

graduation — in many unique career clusters and
a variety of associate degree programs.
Benefits for students include:
• Saving money in pursuit of their college degree.
• Enabling them to potentially take fewer credits each semester of college.
• Earning college credits toward an NWTC certificate, technical diploma, or
associate degree; or the potential of transferring to another college or university.
• Experiencing college level coursework and learning how to
navigate a syllabus, college assignments, papers, and exams.
• Experiencing Blackboard, an online learning management system.
• Increasing the likelihood of pursuing a college education.
