Benefits of Dual Credit
Why should you take Dual Credit at EIU?
You can earn college credit while you're still in high school, giving you a head start on your college journey.- You'll get an idea of what college is like from the comfort of your own high school.
- You'll get to work with college professors and make those important connections early.
- Dual credit students can apply to become full-time students at EIU or free.
- Your courses will transfer to ALL Illinois public universities and 94 other Illinois colleges and universities. Additionally, 86% of colleges and universities nation-wide accept dual enrollment credit. (According to an AACRAO study, the 14% that do not accept dual credit tend to be elite, private schools.
