As high school students get back to class they can begin work on their college course work. And new a new state law removes cap on the number of dual credit classes that student can take. Dual credit courses are taught at high schools but also count for college credit. It can be a way for students to cut the amount of time they have to be enrolled by lessening the amount of courses they need to take when they get to a university.
State Representative Dan Swanson says that’s a great way to save money.
Supporters say this means some kids could leave high school with an associates degree.
