Dual Enrollment

The Individual Dual Enrollment Access (IDEA) Program offers Massachusetts high school students the opportunity to enroll in colleges at an affordable cost, earn college credits, and gain a headstart on their degree. Courses are offered Monday-Friday after 4pm and anytime on weekends. Courses include select online sections and most summer classes all at a reduced tuition. The program is offered at our state universities ($180 per credit) and our state community colleges ($50 per credit) and typically requires a GPA of 2.5 or higher and a recommendation from the high school Guidance Counselor or Administrator. Contact Guidance or go to the website of the public college of choice for more information.
