In September & October, I’m going to highlight affordable dual enrollment programs. To make the cut, a program must be open to students from any state, available online, and charge less than $100 per credit. Today’s program is called “Access Early College” and it is offered through West Virginia University – it is the CHEAPEST program on my list at only $25 per credit!

Total cost of a course is calculated as $25 per each credit hour. If the course is 2 credit hours, the total cost of that course is $50.
