Facts about dual enrollment  

 

Wentworth  College proudly partners with numerous high schools within the state of Missouri to offer a dual enrollment program. The purpose of the dual enrollment program is to provide qualifying high school junior and seniors the opportunity to earn college credits while simultaneously completing their high school graduation requirements. This concept, which started several years ago, allows students exposure to the demands of college level work within the setting of their high school. Approved faculty instruct high school students using a college level curriculum that has been approved and endorsed by the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost at Wentworth.
 

At the completion of the course, the student is awarded credit for the appropriate high school course in conjunction with earning college credit hours. Students participating in the dual enrollment program are able to transfer credits earned through the program to most colleges and universities as Wentworth Junior College is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a college accrediting association.
