Admission Requirements About Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment enables students to get a jump start on a college education by earning college credits while still in high school. The program is made possible under a 2005 South Carolina State Law called the Education and Economic Development Act (EEDA).

Benefits

• Students gain an early start on earning an Associate’s or Bachelor’s. The credits earned through Dual Enrollment will help them complete their college degree sooner.

• Students can complete certain Associate degrees or Certificates while still in high school.

• Students are able to explore and expand their interests through courses not offered at the high school.

• Taking college classes while still in high school can help to ease the transition from high school to college.

• Students are considered YTC students and will have access to all YTC support services.

• Students can transfer credit received at YTC to a number of four-year institutions.
