Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment courses are taught by K-State faculty on one of our campuses or online. Unlike concurrent enrollment, credit for dual credit courses results in college credit, but high school credit is not guaranteed. Talk to your high school counselor for more information about dual credit enrollment to receive college and high school credit.

Cost

Pre-college students take courses at a reduced rate. Books and course fees are included.
