Dual Enrollment and Early College Benefits:

 

 

  • It Doesn't Get Any Cheaper Than This
    Through the One-Two-FREEinitiative, the Montana University System covers a student's tuition for two dual enrollment or early college courses (up to 6 credits). After that, students only pay half-price tuition - around $60 per credit - with no university fees.
  • Hit the Ground Running
    Dual enrollment and early college credits transfer throughout the Montana University System and to accredited institutions nationwide, so students save time and money toward completing a degree.
  • Give College a Try
    Dual enrollment students challenge themselves by taking college-level classes, but they receive plenty of help and encouragement from their teachers and peers. This positive environment empowers all participants to learn, grow, and discover their passion.
