Expand opportunities for your students with Dual Credit
Looking to provide your high school students with valuable, career-focused education? Partner with NorQuest College, Alberta’s largest provider of Dual Credit programming, to offer Dual Credit courses that equip students with the skills they need to succeed in both their studies and future careers.
How Dual credit courses benefit students:
- Prepare for a career with real-world skills.
- Get a head start on post-secondary education while still in high school.
- Engage in meaningful curriculum that counts towards both high school graduation and college credits.
- Smoothly transition into post-secondary studies or the workforce.
- Reduce financial burden by completing post-secondary courses early, potentially lowering future tuition costs.
Many Dual Credit students enter the program uncertain about their future career paths. They might not have considered college or the higher income opportunities that come with advanced education beyond a high school diploma. Dual Credit offers significant advantages, boosting students' self-esteem, leadership abilities, and teamwork skills.
