The most awesome form of education that ever came into existence.
When a high school student can take college classes, and with those classes, can earn both high school credit and college credit. The government is trying to make it cost money, but as of now, it is free in a lot of U.S. states, including Florida. (However,
scholarships will probably cover it in the near future).
Dual enrollment is surprisingly easier than AP or IB, especially since it usually takes place at community or state colleges.
It is also a great preparation for "real college" (as in, college
after high school).
Person1: Johnny is $100,000 in
college debt? Wow...
Person2: Yeah, I guess he's stuck taking out loans for 4 full years of college because he didn't take advantage of dual enrollment.
Person1:
That's dumb. Yeah, I started college as a junior because dual enrollment earned me an
AA Degree before I graduated high school.
