High School Programs

EACH YEAR 70,000+ HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
EARN COLLEGE CREDITS

Get a Jump Start on College or Career

Taking Ivy Tech classes while you’re in high school is a great way to get a jumpstart on your future. Our Dual Credit and Dual Enrollment programs for high schoolers enable students to begin earning college credit while in high school.

You can earn a certificate that allows you to head straight into a high-wage, high-demand career right after graduation, or continue on to college to wrap up an associate degree or even start at a four-year college as a sophomore. Both programs can be free for high school students depending on your goals.

Taking college classes in high school can help students:

  • Get a better understanding of what is expected in college
  • Build increased confidence in their ability to handle college
  • Improve skills in time management, study habits, and handling responsibility
  • Provide access to Ivy Tech resources such as the library and tutoring
  • Make connections with employers

Compare our high school programs below to see which might be best for you.
