Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment
Dual-enrollment programs (DEPs) allow high school students to enroll in college-level courses concurrently, bridging the gap between high school and college education. While enrolled, students earn credits toward both their high school diploma and a college degree, at a fraction of the usual tuition cost.
At Leonia High School, we partner with Bergen Community College and Ramapo College to offer a wide range of dual enrollment opportunities. These courses are taught by LHS teachers who meet the colleges’ academic standards, making it possible for students to experience college-level rigor right in our own classrooms.
Why take Dual Enrollment?
-
Save time and money – College courses are offered at a fraction of the standard tuition rate, and credits are generally transferable to most New Jersey colleges and many out-of-state schools.
-
Get a head start – Earn credits toward your degree before stepping onto a college campus.
-
Challenge yourself – Take advanced coursework that strengthens academic skills and builds confidence.
-
Smooth the transition to college – Learn how college courses are structured and what professors expect.
Key Features
- Level Courses: Students enrolled in the program take courses that are offered at the college level. These courses are often taught by LHS staff members and adhere to the college's curriculum standards.
- Credit Transferability: Successful completion of the college courses allows students to earn both high school and college credits. These college credits are usually transferable to many colleges and universities, providing students with a head start on their college education.
- Integration with High School Curriculum: The program is integrated into the high school's overall curriculum, allowing students to fulfill specific high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits. This integration ensures that students can participate in the program without sacrificing progress toward their high school diploma.
- Eligibility Criteria: Students typically need to meet certain eligibility criteria to participate in the dual enrollment program. This may include maintaining a minimum GPA, demonstrating academic readiness, and obtaining approval from parents or guardians.
- Cost Considerations: The dual enrollment program requires students to pay a tuition fee to the college offering the course. These tuition fees are at a significantly reduced rate. There may be financial assistance for students on free/reduced lunch, depending on the college offering the course.
