What Is Dual Credit?
Dual credit is a process through which a student may earn high school credit for successfully completing a college course that provides advanced academic instruction beyond, or in greater depth than, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for a corresponding high school course. The “dual credit” earned is college credit and high school credit for one course. Source: Texas Education Agency, Dual Credit FAQ
At Judson ISD dual credit courses are offered at no cost to our students.

Why Take Dual Credit Courses?
The American Institutes for Research found that high school graduates who participated in dual credit outperformed students who did not. Measures of performance included grades in both dual credit and college credit only courses, college remediation, enrollment, persistence and completion.
