Wilson College offers dual enrollment to high school juniors and seniors who would like to take college courses on campus. Qualifed students earn college credit and experience the workload of a college class through this program. Credits earned can be applied to a Wilson degree or transferred at the discretion of the college or university of the student’s choice.
A standard three-credit course taken through the dual enrollment program costs an average of $325* when compared to the traditional part-time tuition rate of $832. High school students who enroll as a sophomore could save as much as one year’s worth of college tuition, a savings of more than $20,000.
* Cyber, charter, home and non-agreement schools are not eligible for the discounted tuition rate, but students at those schools may attend at the standard rate of $715 course.
