Horizon Christian partners with George Fox University (GFU) and Oregon Tech (OIT) to offer students the opportunity to earn fully transferable college credit and an official college transcript while also receiving weighted high school credit. Dual credit courses follow university curriculum, use college-level textbooks, and are graded according to college standards.
Unlike AP classes, IB programs, or traditional honors courses, students are enrolled in actual university courses, not simply more rigorous high school classes. This experience helps prepare them for the expectations and academic rigor of college while allowing them to begin earning credits toward their future degree.
Our Dual Credit program provides a significant financial benefit by saving families thousands of dollars in future college tuition while giving students a meaningful head start on their college education. Whether students choose to earn transferable college credits or pursue the George Fox University Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree while completing their Horizon Christian diploma, they can select the pathway that best supports their academic, college, and career goals.
"Horizon’s dual enrollment program put me on pace to graduate college as a double major in three years, and the material taught in those classes resonated in my 400 level classes I took during the first year at college. The style of the dual credit classes prepares students for their college courses, and I would not be on the academic and career path that I am without taking advantage of these classes."
"Dual credit courses gave me insight of what a college classroom looks like. I saved nearly $15,000 by taking dual credit classes at Horizon. The teachers at Horizon truly care about each student and are willing to offer help because they want to see each student succeed and be prepared for the future."
