Benefits of Participating in Jax State Dual Enrollment
The Jax State Dual Enrollment program is designed to not only assist students by saving costs and earning credit but also by providing an enhanced student experience. Nationally, one in three students will take a college class before graduating from high school (NACEP, 2022). Our program is working to build college readiness steps intentionally from the time the student begins in our program until they graduate from high school.
Jax State Dual Enrollment students who choose to attend Jacksonville State University after high school graduation can earn additional benefits for participating in our program.
