Dual Enrollment Program
Are you a current high school student seeking a challenging and rewarding opportunity to earn college credit?
Do you want to get an early start on your college and career exploration?
Consider applying for Dual Enrollment at Anna Maria College! Plus, your first two Dual Enrollment courses are FREE! Our Dual Enrollment program allows you to earn credit toward a high school/homeschool diploma and college degree simultaneously, saving you time and money toward your college degree. To be eligible, students should have a grade point average of 3.00 GPA on a 4.00 weighted or unweighted scale (80 on a 100-point scale).
Anna Maria College Dual Enrollment offers student career-focused courses that will transfer to most two-year and four-year public and private institutions while simultaneously completing secondary education graduation requirements. As you consider dual enrollment, please make sure to work with your high school counselor/administrator to make them aware of our classes so that they can assist you with appropriate academic advising and course scheduling during your junior and senior years.
Anna Maria College Dual Enrollment students typically enroll in one course a semester. All Dual Enrollment students are limited to two(2) courses per semester (Fall and Spring).
Dual Enrollment students are considered non-degree-seeking Anna Maria College students and, as such, will be awarded the same academic support privileges as other Anna Maria College students.
