Dual Credit is the ability to earn college credit as a high school student. In some
cases, a student may also earn a high school letter grade for taking Dual Credit courses
The Dual Credit program offers college-level courses for high school students in a
cooperative arrangement with local school districts.
Getting a head-start on your college education and joining the KSU Dual Credit program
can help you:
Graduate from college earlier;
Spend less money on college;
Prepare in advance for university and career settings.
On-site Team Teaching: These courses are team taught in the high school by high school
and college faculty. Check with your high school counselor to see if a class of this
type is taught at your high school.
On campus: These courses are taught on the Kentucky State University campus only.
Students must commute to campus to participate.
Virtual Asynchronous: These courses are taught on the Kentucky State University campus.
Students at the high school remotely join the college class at the same time using
the Blackboard learning management system and other synchronous technologies.
The Dual Credit Office works with school districts to assess their course needs and
interests.
If a student is an individual Dual Credit program student, then he or she may contact
the Dual Credit Office directly to determine which courses they can take. The Director
of Dual Credit, Ally Barfield-McClure, can assist in advising students on courses
and any other support services needed. dorothy.barfield@kysu.edu
