Welcome to the Nevada State College Dual Credit Program! At our partnering schools, students can enroll in college-level classes that also satisfy their requirements for high school graduation. Students complete these courses at their current high school with instructors who have been approved by NSC. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the program.
For parents, this is an excellent opportunity to give your child a jumpstart on college. Students can earn 3-40 credits depending on the number of classes offered at each school. Importantly, these classes are transferrable to any state college in Nevada and we offer them at a highly reduced tuition rate: $25 per credit.
For qualified students, this is your chance to have an authentic college experience without leaving your high school. It’s a way to build confidence, challenge yourself, and speed up your path to a college degree and a fulfilling career. Ideally, we’d like you to have such a great experience that you choose NSC to complete your bachelor’s degree. To see if you qualify, reach out to the guidance counselor at your high school.
The Dual Credit Program supports our Teacher Academy Pipeline Project (TAPP), which encourages students to consider education as a college major and a career. If you are interested in learning more about how this program can help you choose teaching as a profession, please contact Melanie Murray.
