Dual Enrollment at EXT
Our dual enrollment program is a unique opportunity for high school students from partner schools to earn college credit before completing high school.
When people think of college students, many people tend to think of traditional students who have graduated high school and are now enrolled in a two- or four-year institution.
Earn College and High School Credit Simultaneously
Our program is designed for motivated students, like you, who seek to get a head start on college credits and aren't afraid to be challenged academically. ÍúÍú×ÊÔ´ EXT has the support systems in place to help you succeed and we offer guidance on potential career paths for students. Our full course catalog is open to any high school student, with courses offered in person at the ÍúÍú×ÊÔ´ Providence campus, online, or hybrid.
Receive an ÍúÍú×ÊÔ´ Degree
Through our program, you'll not only be able to earn college credits but potentially also earn a college-level certificate from ÍúÍú×ÊÔ´, putting you one step ahead of others in today's competitive workforce.
Save Money on College Tuition & Finish College Faster
The credits you earn now are the credits you won't have to pay for later when you become an official college student. Save time through dual enrollment. By getting ahead on your credits, you can potentially earn your degree in less time. ÍúÍú×ÊÔ´ EXT offers an affordable, discounted tuition rate of $250 per credit.
Discover What Career Could be Right For You
Dual enrollment is the perfect place to test out potential career paths and majors.
