Earn College Credit in English and Social Studies While Still in High School

Dual Enrollment Program – English and Social Studies

Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) and Wright State University (WSU) are partnering to deliver college courses on the MVCTC campus during the school day. Dual enrollment is not PSEO. Dual enrollment allows students the opportunity to remain on the MVCTC campus, take a college level course, and earn both high school and college credit. When a student is enrolled as a dual-enrollment student, s/he is also a student at the college, where s/he has the same benefits as any other Wright State University student.

• High school senior status
