Dual Credit
You take your high school courses seriously. So why not use your hard work to shave semesters—and some serious dollars—off your education. Earn college credit for what you’re already doing: taking challenging courses at your high school.
Get a Jump-Start
You want to hit the ground running at college, we understand. You’re researching programs, comparing careers and creating a shortlist of organizations you are interested in joining. Why not get a jump-start on your core requirements too?
Why Dual Credit?
Earn College Credit at Your High School With Dual Credit
Dual credit lets you take certain high school classes for college credit. You apply and enroll through STLCC, but attend at your high school. These classes must meet the criteria of a similar course on campus. This ensures you’re getting a college-level experience that conveniently fits into your schedule.
Earn Credits Toward Your Diploma and Degree
We partner with local high schools to select certain classes for dual credit. This means you’re on track for graduation, while earning college credit from STLCC.
Forget Online Classes or Commutes to Campus
This program makes earning credit easy. Dual-credit classes are taught at your high school, by your teachers and alongside your classmates.
Save Money Today and Tomorrow
Even at highly-discounted rates, other programs cost around 60 percent more than our dual-credit program. But the real savings happen when you transfer the credits to a four-year university, saving hundreds of tuition dollars.
Start Here. Go Anywhere ...
When you choose STLCC, you choose credits that are designed to transfer. So when you move on to another college or university, you can trust the work you’ve put in will count. Learn more about Missouri's CORE 42 Program for classes that are transferable, guaranteed.
Complete Your Goals Faster
Our average, a dual-credit student averages six credit hours per semester. This means you could transfer in an entire semester of credits just from your senior year of high school. Whether it’s graduate school or jumping into the job market, dual credit helps get you there faster.
Who Can Apply?
To participate in the dual-credit program, you must demonstrate you’re ready for college classes. We look for students who are high school:
- Seniors and juniors with a 2.5 GPA or higher
- Sophomores with a 3.0 GPA or higher
To enroll, you'll need to receive written permission from one of your school’s administrators and a parent or guardian.
Cost of Dual Credit
Dual-credit courses cost $25 per credit hour. Ask your high school counselor for specific information about your classes.
Enrolling in Dual Credit
Contact your high school counselor to learn what dual-credit courses are available at your high school.
