placement, but each college/university sets their own policy

Why Not A+?

• Dual Credit will save time towards degree

• Dual Credit is in your high school with your high school teacher

• On campus you will repeat the same curriculum of the high school course you took

• Dual Credit does not charge for books or lab fees A 3 credit dual credit course cost can be

equivalent to the cost of one book on campus Lab fees for science courses at MW are

$14/credit (5 credit AP Chemistry or AP Biology =$70.00 more)
