Begin in High School - Finish at FIU
Gain a competitive edge on your first-year experience in college. Get a head start on learning critical thinking, writing and reading skills. Complete University Core Curriculum (UCC) courses and explore degree pathways. Best of all, reduce the cost of your higher education.
Start by meeting with your school counselor, or parent/legal guardian if you are a home school student, and discuss dual enrollment opportunities.
Program Types
Earn college credits at your high school
Dual enrollment courses can be taken at Partner Schools during the high school academic year. Students earn, at the same time, college credits and credits that fulfill requirements for high school graduation.
Courses are taught by either a high school instructor appointed as an FIU Courtesy Lecturer, or an FIU faculty or adjunct instructor.
