Dual Enrollment Program

Earn college credit at half the cost.

Grove City College 1-13-16-462-36

Get a jumpstart at Grove City College. The Dual Enrollment Program provides high-achieving high school students an opportunity to take college classes for credit at a reduced cost. The courses – offered to qualified juniors or seniors in public, private, or home education – may count for high school credit in addition to Grove City College credit.

Why consider dual enrollment?

By taking college courses in high school, students can earn college credit at a reduced cost while exploring fields of study. Dual-enrolled students can take up to two courses (totaling no more than seven credits) per semester. In addition, dual-enrolled students are able to register for January and May Intersession courses. While most dual enrolled classes are offered traditionally on campus, several courses are available in an online format.

Online course offerings

In addition to our on-campus offerings, students may also register for summer online courses. These courses are open to high school students in every state except California. Interested high school juniors and seniors may apply for these as they would apply for an on-campus class (see “How do I apply?” below for instructions). Registration is now open. Early summer session begins June 3. Late summer session begins July 1. These classes are shared with our full-time students, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please forward any questions regarding our online course offerings to Abby Messinger, Dual-Enrollment Coordinator.

A great value specifically for you

The tuition cost per credit for the 2018-19 academic year for Dual Enrollment Program classes is $165 per credit hour, 70% less than our standard cost per credit hour! Students who take several dual-enrollment classes can significantly reduce the cost of a Grove City College degree.

Most courses are three credits except for courses with associated laboratories, which are generally four credits. Additionally, published course-related fees (e.g., laboratory supplies) are the responsibility of the student, and financial aid is not available for students in the Dual Enrollment Program.
 
Suggested courses
Most courses are available to dual-enrolled students, provided the prerequisites have been met and space is available. Music lessons and music ensembles are not available to dual-enrolled students.
