Get Ahead with Dual Enrollment!

Through the Cochise College Dual Enrollment Program, high school students have an opportunity to get an early start on college and career goals by earning college credits and certifications while attending high school. Cochise College has partnered with various Cochise County high schools to provide dual enrollment opportunities.

Before starting, take some time to discuss this college commitment with parents/guardians. While there are advantages to getting an early start on college, students and parents should seriously consider college class expectations and time commitment. Grades posted to a college transcript will follow the student for life and may affect future opportunities for employment, financial aid, and academics. Please contact Dual Enrollment office at de@cochise.edu or 520-515-4511 with questions.
