Dual Enrollment vs. AP

Dual Enrollment

High schools partner with community colleges or local universities to offer college-level courses at the high school or online. Sometimes, students will take the courses at the college itself, with other college students. 

If you participate, you鈥檒l be awarded a grade and may receive college credit, without needing to take a special exam (like in the AP program).

  • DE courses are college courses
  • One semester 
  • Tuition and Fees can be covered with the Dual Enrollment Grant
  • Graduate high school with a degree* 
  • No stress about final exam score, not a test-based program
  • Available at high school, college, or online
  • Take classes not available at high school
  • Guaranteed credit transfer to in-state institutions
  • Accumulate more college credit than AP

AP

The College Board鈥檚 AP program includes courses across English, the arts, math, sciences, history, foreign languages, and other topics. Each year-long course mirrors a semester-long college class. 

  • AP courses are like a college course
  • One year
  • Must pay student exam fees
  • Get some college credit after your graduate high school
  • Earn college credit and placement with a successful exam score, (Exam score must be 3 or higher)
  • Only available at high school 
  • Top colleges generally don鈥檛 award credit, but some use AP scores for course placement purposes
  • Potential to earn credit, not a guarantee
