Spring has sprung, the birds are chirping and summer is fast approaching! Spring time is the perfect time to apply for Dual Enrollment at Black Hills State!
As Emily explained in our last blog, Dual Enrollment is a great way to get your feet wet by taking college courses and making the transition from high school to college that much easier.
So what are the pros to being Dual Enrolled…?
The most obvious reason is getting a head start on college. By taking college courses such as Composition, Speech, College Algebra or any other general education requirement during high school, you save time in the long run and in turn that means you save money. You are essentially eliminating courses you will have to take in college and the sooner you are finished with your electives and general education courses, the sooner you can get started on the courses that are required for your major. That sounds great, right?
Another great reason for deciding to dual enroll is because it makes you more qualified for scholarships. Yes, that’s right… scholarships! For example, when universities see that you have taken four years of math (college level course included), they know you are serious about college and are ready to handle the class load of a college student. Colleges then feel good about awarding you money because they know you are ready.
The final reason our Dual Enrollment program at BHSU is a great idea – because it’s FUN! Not only can you take general education courses, you can also take fun electives that might introduce you to a new hobby such as rock climbing or perhaps a career that you have never considered.
If you are interested in applying for our program make sure to sign up soon! Remember space is limited in all of our courses, so the sooner you apply the better!
