Dual College Credit
Earn High School & College Credit at the Same Time
Dual credit means that a high school student will earn credit on their high school transcript and establish credit on a college transcript for the same course. Courses are college-level curriculum and taught at both the Tech Academy and Richland Community College (RCC) campuses. The college credit is immediate and saves students both time and money as they continue their education at RCC or transfer the credit to another college. ***Dual credit agreements are established on an annual basis and may be subject to change. This grid includes courses which are planned for the 12/13 school year. Programs are listed in alphabetical order in the table below.
