If you’re looking for a way to jumpstart your college journey, consider dual enrollment at Edge High School in Tucson. Through our new partnership with Arizona State University’s Accelerate ASU program, enrolled 9th-12th graders can take tuition-free courses that earn college credit and high school credit at the same time – free, convenient and supported. Here are three ways dual enrollment can set you up for success now and in college.
1. Succeeding in Dual Enrollment Proves to Yourself (and the College Admissions Folks) that You’ve Got What it Takes
Along with our self-paced, 3 classes at a time program, you can now take college courses online — taught by Arizona State University faculty. You can jump into college-level coursework while still in high school, building the skills and confidence you need for success before the pressure of college decisions hits. This head start helps you bridge any academic gaps, sharpen your study skills, and master college-level courses while you still have the support of your high school community.
2. Get College Credits, Saving You Money & Time
Here’s a win for both students and parents: dual enrollment can cut college costs and speed up your path to a high school diploma AND a college degree. By earning free credits now, you’re knocking out classes that would cost full price later. These college courses are fully transferable and designed by one of the most innovative universities in the country. You’re getting a head start on college without breaking the bank—what’s not to love?
3. Explore Your Options Now
Not sure what you want to study in college? Dual enrollment lets you test the waters. You can explore a variety of sciences like chemistry or biology, or fields like criminal justice, education and business. We help students design an educational pathway that opens doors to new possibilities, inviting everyone to discover new passions and earn college credit while they’re at it. It’s a low-pressure way to figure out what lights you up, so by the time you’re picking a major, you’re already ahead of the game.
You don’t need a GPA, test scores, or an application to join. Start anytime, learn at your own pace, and only add a course to your transcript if you’re proud of your grade. Enrolled students can talk to Edge teachers about starting this exciting program. Not enrolled at Edge yet? Give us a call and let’s make a plan together! (520) 881-1389
