Coastal Bend College
Dual Credit Department
The CBC Dual Credit department is committed to offering
high school students a comprehensive post-secondary educational experience that
provides a foundation for continued postsecondary academic success and/or the
necessary skills needed for today’s workforce industries.
Students gain the necessary skills needed to be successful
in post-secondary education while in high school. Sometimes Dual Enrollment is
referred to as "dual credit" or "concurrent
enrollment/credit". The CBC dual credit courses are offered at a
reduced rate of tuition (almost 1/2 of non-dual student tuition).
Workforce Pathway: Dual Credit students can chose to enroll in one of the CBC workforce programs while in high school (see below). Most of the courses pair well with the CTE offered at the high school. This is a great way to begin taking the courses you will need for the Associate of Applied Science in your chosen career. The first step is to complete the Level I Fundamentals Certificate.
Academic Pathway: The
AS/AA degree has 42 credit hours of general education requirements, three-credit
hours of degree designation and 15 hours of core curriculum courses as
electives.
We always encourage students to meet with their high school counselor and Dual Credit Specialist on a regular basis to make sure you are taking the appropriate courses for "dual credit".
Some of the Benefits of Taking DC Courses:
- Get a head start on your college education by earning college credits while in high school
- Exposure to the rigor of a college-level course
- Convenience of course location (your high school campus, online or at any CBC location)
- Access to CBC support services such as the library, academic/career advising and computer labs.
