testimonial

"Dual credit has been a true blessing!  I am thankful that I was able to get my feet wet with college credit before I jumped head first into my freshman year. This past May, I graduated high school with 49 college credit hours, so now I get to finish college a year early and keep my student loans to a minimum!"
