Eligible Courses
You can use any general elective course(s) for dual-enrollment (up to 9 credits total).
Business core courses cannot be used for dual-enrollment. However, dual-enrollment can be flexible, and you are able to dual-enroll while still completing other bachelor’s core courses, so if you are interested, please email us your schedule and questions, and we will gladly assist you in developing your dual-enrollment plan.
