College Credit Opportunities for OAO High School Students

About Dual Credit in
Florida

Florida offers a unique opportunity for high school students called Dual Credit. Unlike Dual Enrollment, which requires full-time college attendance and in-state residency, Dual Credit allows students to take individual college courses and earn credits that can transfer to colleges both in and out of Florida. It’s a flexible way to get a head start on college while still in high school.

Head Start on College

Dual credit courses allow students to experience college-level coursework while still in high school. This can help them adjust to the demands of higher education and build confidence for their future academic journey.

Cost & Time Effective

By earning college credits while in high school, students can reduce the time and cost of obtaining a college degree. This cost-effective approach allows you to focus on higher-level courses or even graduate early.

Explore Diverse Academic Paths

Dual credit programs offer a chance to explore various academic subjects and potential career paths. Students can discover your passions and strengths without committing to a specific major right away.

Enhanced College Application

Successfully completing dual credit courses demonstrates academic readiness and dedication. This can significantly boost college applications and increase chances of admission to competitive universities.
