Dual Enrollment Credit Opportunities

What is dual enrollment credit?

Courses offered for dual enrollment credit stem from agreements between high schools, universities and community colleges whereby a student's high school course enables them to enroll in a college course and simultaneously earn high school AND college credits for the course.

WHAT DUAL ENROLLMENT CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO MHS STUDENTS?

Metuchen High School, in partnership with Middlesex College, Seton Hall University, and Kean University offers the following opportunities to eligible juniors or seniors. 

MHS Courses that have been approved as Dual Credit classes:

  1. Human Dynamics in Psychology - Middlesex College

  2. Sociology - Middlesex College

  3. Honors Pre-Calculus - Middlesex College

  4. AP Psych - Middlesex College

  5. Honors English 12 - Middlesex College

  6. French 5 - Middlesex College

  7. Honors Calculus III - Seton Hall

  8. The Holocaust (offered at MHS in alternating years) - Kean University

  9. Genocide after WWII (offered at MHS in alternating years) - Kean University

WHAT COLLEGES WILL ACCEPT THESE TRANSFER CREDITS?

Dual Credit colleges cannot guarantee that a school will accept their credits, although many colleges do accept credits from other institutions. Acceptance of credits is up to the receiving college and the decision is often made by a department chairperson. For information on which New Jersey colleges and universities may accept the Dual Credit credits, go to www.njtransfer.org. Or contact your college directly.

To prove your earned credits to your school, you must order a copy of your transcript from the college from which you've earned the credits. Middlesex, Seton Hall, or Kean hold the credits you will need to verify, not Metuchen High School. Please visit their websites for instructions on ordering a transcript.
