Benefits of Dual-Enrollment at HCU
Dual-enrollment can be used to accomplish many different goals. We encourage students to allow dual-enrollment to help them reach a level of academic excellence and college preparedness previously unavailable to them. We also know dual-enrollment can help students and families limit college debt by reducing the number of semesters or years students attend a traditional, four-year university. Further, dual-enrollment can allow students to advance their university studies beyond what most can achieve in four years.
