What is the Difference Between Dual and Concurrent Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment- The student is both a high school and college
a student taking college courses on the high
school campus during their high school day.
The high school instructor teaching the
college course meets the required minimum
qualifications for teaching at the college level.
While the dual enrollment course is taught at
the high school, it is a college course and is
taught in the same rigor and with the same
expectations as a college course.
Concurrent Enrollment- The student is both a high school and
college student taking college courses
at the local Cerro Coso campus or Cerro
Coso online, in addition to their high
school classes. Cerro Coso instructors
teach the college courses.
