What is Dual Enrollment?

Looking for a new challenge?  A head-start on college?

The MTSU Dual Enrollment program allows high school students to complete coursework online or on campus.  In some cases, classes might be available at Central Magnet School in Murfreesboro and coming soon to other area high schools.  It's a perfect choice for students who plan to attend MTSU, but course credits are transferable anywhere in Tennessee.

Credits for advanced placement classes and dual enrollment coursework will look the same on a high school transcript.  So what's the difference?

• In a dual enrollment course at MTSU you will be taught university-level content by a college professor.
• Course subjects are not typically available at the high school level.
• Instead of a one-shot AP test at the end of the semester, you'll get an immersive experience with continual feedback via tests and assignments as well as the opportunity to interact with collegiate peers.
• Grades are posted to both high school and college transcripts.
• Graduate with distinction. Students will be recognized as graduating from high school "with distinction" if they attain a B average and earn 12 or more semester hours of transcripted postsecondary credit.  Each local school board will develop a policy prescribing how students graduating with distinction will be noted and recognized.
