Students Get Ahead With Dual Enrollment…
Earn Both High School and College Credit

Wayne Community College’s Career and College Promise program allows high school students to earn college credits while still in high school. In fact, many students complete large portions of their freshman year in college while still in high school.

Are you confident in your abilities? Are you prepared for a challenge? If you can answer “yes” to these questions, then dual enrollment in college and high school is a good consideration for you. This fast-track option allows you to take college-level classes and fulfill high school requirements at the same time.

There are two options for participating in the CCP program.

  1. 1. COLLEGE TRANSFER PATHWAY (CT)
    ■ Be a high school junior or senior
    ■ Have a weighted GPA of 3.0 on high school courses
    ■ Demonstrate college readiness on an assessment or placement testThe College Transfer Pathways allow students the opportunity to earn college credits that transfer seamlessly to any public or participating private college or university. This pathway includes at least 30 semester hours of transfer courses leading to the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science.

    2. CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PATHWAY (CTE)
    ■ Be a high school student
    ■ Have a weighted GPA of 3.0 on high school courses or have the recommendation of the High School Principal
    ■ Meet the pre-requisites for the Career Pathway

    The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathway allows students to earn a certificate or diploma and is designed for students who want to work toward completion of a credential before graduating from high school.
