EPSO Week Highlights Local Dual Credit

It’s Early Postsecondary Opportunities Week in Tennessee! Each day this week, we will highlight a different early postsecondary opportunity available to students in Collierville Schools.
What are Early Postsecondary Opportunities?
Early Postsecondary Opportunities allow students to:
Earn college credits while still in high school
Become familiar with college expectations
Develop confidence and skills for success in college
Make informed college and career decisions
Decrease the time and cost of completing a certificate, diploma, or degree
Today’s highlighted early postsecondary opportunities are Dual Credit courses.
Dual Credit courses are available in two types: Statewide Dual Credit and Local Dual Credit. Statewide Dual Credit courses have been developed by high school and college faculty to give students an opportunity to earn credit that can be applied to any public college in Tennessee. Local Dual Credit courses allow students the potential to earn college credit from a college while in high school if he/she chooses to attend that college after high school. Both Statewide and Local Dual Credit courses require students to pass an exam at the end of the course.
Be sure to speak with your counselor for more information about Dual Credit courses in Collierville.
