Dual Credit
The Dual Credit Program, taught by Crowder College approved high school instructors, allows high school students, while still attending their local school, the opportunity to enroll in and receive both high school and college credit during normal class hours. Participation in a dual credit program, enables high school studentsto get a "head start" on their college career as well as prepare them for the challenges of college courses.

Dual Enrollment
The dual enrollment program, taught by Crowder College faculty at designated class sites or online, allows motivated public, private, and homeschool students the "jump start" they need before attending college on a full-time basis. Credits earned under these programs will be applicable towards a degree at Crowder College and are generally transferable to other colleges and universities. Crowder College cannot guarantee transferability because each institution has its own curriculum Crowder College cannot guarantee transferability.
