Dual Credit Options
Dual credit courses allow OHS students to simultaneously earn both high school credit and college credit. This gives students the opportunity to take college-level courses at a more affordable price. There is a per credit hour fee for each course that is set by the college/university awarding credit. These prices can range from $75-100/hour with most courses being worth 3 credit hours and are payable by the student. Since some students will take more than one dual credit course, some colleges offer payment plans. Students must have a 3.0 GPA minimum and meet the eligibility requirements for each individual course. These college-level courses are available to OHS students two different ways: direct teaching by approved OHS faculty and online courses taught by university professors.
The majority of the classes we offer meet the general education requirements for most colleges/universities. It is important for students to check to see how each class will transfer to each university they are interested in attending before enrolling in a dual credit course. You can usually do this by visiting the potential colleges/university website and searching for their course equivalencies section.
