Dual Credit Program

Welcome to the Nevada State University Dual Credit Program!

At our partnering schools, students can enroll in college-level classes that also satisfy their requirements for high school graduation. Students complete these courses at their current high school with instructors who have been approved by NSU.

Get a Head Start on College

For parents, this is an excellent opportunity to give your child a jumpstart on college. Students can earn 3-40 credits depending on the number of classes offered at each school. Importantly, these classes are transferrable to any state college in Nevada and we offer them at a highly reduced tuition rate.

Build Confidence and Challenge Yourself

For qualified students, this is your chance to have an authentic college experience without leaving your high school. It’s a way to build confidence, challenge yourself, and speed up your path to a college degree and a fulfilling career. Ideally, we’d like you to have such a great experience that you choose NSU to complete your bachelor’s degree. To see if you qualify, reach out to the guidance counselor at your high school.

If you have questions about our Dual Credit Program, please contact Jennifer Lamoreaux, (link needs to be updated) our Director of High School Partnerships or Camille Easterling, our Dual Credit Specialist.
