Dual Enrollment
Jumpstart Your College Journey with Dual Enrollment at Immaculata University

Interested in Earning College Credit in High School?
Talk to your school counselor to find out if dual enrollment is a good fit for you. If you're planning to go to college, dual enrollment can give you a head start—and help you save time and money.
What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual enrollment at Immaculata University lets high school students take college-level courses — online, on campus, hybrid, or at their school — and earn credits that count toward both high school and college credit, which means students can get a head start on their college education.
Special Opportunities for Diocesan Scholars & Homeschooled Students
Diocesan Scholars: Immaculata proudly partners with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to offer the Diocesan Scholars Program, allowing high-achieving seniors from participating Catholic high schools to take college-level courses tuition-free. These students can attend classes on campus or online and begin earning credits toward their future degree while completing their high school education. Check with your school counselor.
Homeschooled Students: Homeschool students are also welcome to participate in our Dual Enrollment Program. If you're homeschooled and meet the eligibility criteria (typically junior/senior standing and a strong academic record), you can take college courses online or on our campus. This is a great way to supplement your homeschool curriculum with accredited college coursework. Contact Eortiz1@immaculata.edu directly to discuss your options and get help with registration.
