Dallas International University invites high schoolers to take college courses for dual credit. For each course, students earn credit toward their high school degree and receive credit on a college transcript. Our dual enrollment courses count toward satisfying General Education requirements at DIU, but as a SACSCOC (https://sacscoc.org/) accredited school, our courses are fully transferrable to other colleges and universities. DIU provides dual enrollment courses for homeschooled students as well as students that attend a partnering high school.
What Will it Cost?
Dual Enrollment tuition is just $100/credit hour.* On average, you’ll save more than $800 per class by taking the courses below as a Dual Enrollment student rather than as a traditional undergraduate student.
*Students must apply and enroll as Dual Enrollment students to qualify for this special tuition rate. Not available for traditional undergraduate students. An additional flat fee of $50 per semester applies for all Dual Enrollment students.
Modality
All of our dual enrollment courses are offered in-person and synchronously via Zoom (except WA2381, which is in-person only). Synchronous Zoom students participate live during class time with the professor and the on-campus students.
“Taking dual enrollment classes helped me jump-start my college career in so many ways. As a homeschooled student, taking classes from a teacher other than my parents was a big adjustment, but being able to begin while I was still in high school prepared me for what to expect when I got to college. I also saved over a year on my degree and was able to finish early!”
—Sarah, DIU MA Graduate
Strengthen Your Biblical Foundations
With DIU’s Dual Enrollment Bible and spirituality courses, students can build up their faith in high school while earning credit both toward their diploma and on a college transcript. These credits will complete part of the General Education requirements for BA students at DIU, while also being transferrable to other Christian universities that require lower-level Bible courses. Participation in the spiritual life while taking dual enrollment courses is another unique opportunity for high school students.
Admissions Requirements
Homeschooled students must include a letter of attestation from a parent or guardian that asserts the student is capable of undergraduate-level courses and agrees for DIU to include the course on the student’s permanent record. Students attending a high school must attend one of DIU’s partnering schools and must demonstrate a 2.75 GPA or higher. Begin the application process by completing our preliminary form, and our Dual Enrollment liaison will be in touch to help you complete the process.
