Eligible high school students can enroll in Parkland College courses, simultaneously earning credit toward a specialized certification, associate degree, or bachelor degree, and at the same time, earn credit toward high school graduation requirements. Dual Credit students can take courses on the Parkland College campus, online, and even at their home high school.
