• Dual Enrollment

  • Dual Enrollment ​is designed to prepare students for college and career opportunities leading students to postsecondary institutions for an industry recognized certification or lic​ensure, an associate and/or higher college ​​​degree, and successful employment. 

    In the state of Georgia, students can take advantage of dual enrollment options as early as 9th grade as determined by the admission criteria of the local college, university, or technical college. Dual Enrollment students may enroll on a part-time or full-time basis and take college courses at their high school or on a postsecondary campus. Students will receive high school and college credit simultaneously when attending and passing approved college classes.

    Atlanta Public Schools offers several different Dual Enrollment options including Traditional, Atlanta College and Career Academy, and Early College.

     

  • Traditional Dual Enrollment

  • Dual Enrollment at Atlanta Technical College

  • Early College Dual Enrollment

    Early College is a Dual Enrollment program that affords students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma with the potential to earn an Associate’s Degree, or up to two years of college credit, by taking a mixture of high school and college classes. This program differs from traditional Dual Enrollment where students are enrolled in a traditional high school and take college classes, whereas Early College students take high school classes in preparation for full college workloads. At Early Colleges, students also have fewer high school classes because some of their college classes replace their high school classes.

    For more details, please consult with see your school counselor.  The following high schools have Early College programs: BEST Academy, Carver Early College, Maynard H. Jackson, Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy, Daniel McLaughlin Therrell, and Booker T. Washington.
