Benefits for the Student:
- The student can earn both high school and college credit at the same time.
- The courses and credits will be on the student’s GCC or Alfred State transcript and will transfer to many other colleges.
- Obtaining Dual Credit reduces the number of courses needed for a college degree after high school graduation.
- Tuition fees are lower.
- Courses are challenging, with college-level content and expectations.
- Students are introduced to the college experience while still at home and with their friends, increasing motivation to attend college after high school.
- Conducive Learning Environment – The students who choose to be in these rigorous classes want to be there and want to learn. These classes may be more stimulating.
- Your “Major” – Students could potentially earn enough credits to enter college as a sophomore and begin to work on their major that much sooner.
- Statistics prove that taking rigorous classes leads to future college success!
