Dual Enrollment

These courses are offered for free to MDUSD students through partnerships between MDUSD and its high schools and Diablo Valley College (DVC)

Why Dual Enrollment?

The benefits of dual enrollment are numerous: students can get a head start on their college education and potentially save time/money by completing college credits early. Classes part of MDUSD’s dual enrollment program are intended to help meet either a certificate requirement or a degree requirement. Dual Enrollment also provides exposure to the rigor of college coursework and helps students transition more smoothly to higher education.

A typical college class will earn students one year of high school credit. Additionally, students earning a C or higher in a dual enrollment class will result in a GPA boost for that class – similar to an AP or honors class. Participating in this program demonstrates academic ambition, preparedness, and long term goal setting. Overall this program offers an opportunity for students to challenge themselves, reduce future college costs, and accelerate their educational journey. 

MDUSD has a variety of dual enrollment classes this spring 2025. While they are offered on different campuses, they are open to students across the district – please note that students are responsible for getting themselves to the classes as MDUSD does not provide transportation.
