Dual Enrollment<\/h1>\n

Earn college credit while in high school<\/h2>\n

Columbus High School is proud to offer students the opportunity to participate in Dual Enrollment through Cerritos College<\/strong> right here on our campus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is Dual Enrollment?<\/h2>\n

Dual enrollment allows students to take college-level courses while still in high school, giving them the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit at the same time.<\/p>\n

These courses provide students with valuable exposure to college-level expectations, help build confidence in their ability to succeed after high school, and can give them a head start toward completing a college degree or certificate.<\/p>\n

College Courses, Right on Campus<\/h2>\n

Having Cerritos College dual-enrollment courses available directly at Columbus High School makes this opportunity even more accessible by allowing students to experience college coursework in a familiar and supportive environment.<\/p>\n

It is an excellent opportunity for students to challenge themselves academically, explore future educational and career pathways, and begin building their college transcript before they graduate from high school.<\/p>\n

Earning college credits while in high school can help students save both time and money<\/strong> when they attend college. By completing general education courses before college, students could save approximately $28,000 at a UC and $11,600 at a CSU<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
