Horizon partners with Oregon Tech (OIT) and George Fox University (GFU) to offer students fully transferable college credit and an official college transcript—while also earning weighted high school credit. Dual credit courses follow college curriculum, use college textbooks, and are graded with college standards.
Unlike AP classes, IB curriculum, or even traditional honors courses, students are enrolled in a legitimate university class and not just a more difficult high school course. These courses prepare students for the academic rigor they will encounter at the university level.
Our Dual Credit program provides a significant financial benefit, by saving families thousands of dollars and enabling students to enter college with 1 to 3 terms of undergraduate credits already completed.
"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."
