With thousands of dual enrollment programs available, it’s hard to know if one offers something unique or interesting. Starting this week, I’ll feature a different DE program that has something interesting worth talking about. University of Holy Cross in Louisiana has 3 special attributes: live classes, low price, and developmental courses.
University of Holy Cross (Louisiana)
Private 4-year *religious university
Regionally Accredited
Program Name: Dual Enrollment
Cost $150 per course, 11 credits per term max
Target audience: 11th and 12th grade or earlier with approval and test scores.
Special features: Access to tutors and developmental courses* (rare), some classes meet live on Zoom (hard to find).
Many of the dual enrollment courses are NOT online, which makes them impossible for a student that doesn’t live locally. Check the fall catalog for meeting information. You’re looking for courses that say “online.”
*developmental courses are those that are “pre” college level, which is to say they will not count towards a degree at any college – not at this one or others. You can use these classes in your homeschool for high school credit, but not for college credit.
