Benefits of ASU dual enrollment for high school students

Increase college success for your students

Students who complete dual or concurrent enrollment courses are more likely then their peers to enroll in, retain, and graduate from college.

Access to advanced learning material

With 60 courses, students can take STEM, humanities, and career-focused courses that match their abilities and interests.

More affordable pathways to a college degree

Low-cost tuition and no-risk transcript options make earning college credit more accessible, helping students save time and money while exploring career pathways.

I would say that a one-size all approach doesn’t work for students, at least none of the students I’ve worked with. Accelerate ASU has provided another pathway for students to work.
