Which program is right for you?

Both the Huskin's Program and the Dual Enrollment Program are state funded academic programs for high school students. But there are differences in the programs.

(1) HUSKINS CLASSES are college credit courses that are available to:

16 year old juniors & seniors during the fourth block on the high school campus or during 1st and 4th blocks if taught on the college campus.

(The course description will indicate if the course will occur at the home high school or on the college campus.)

These courses provide college semester hours' credit and may provide high school unit credit toward graduation. College tuition is free.

In some courses textbooks are provided by the public school system.

Students must meet the college's entrance and prerequisite requirements and be approved by their high school principal.
