Program Description

Welcome to LU Online Dual Credit, a program designed for highly motivated juniors and seniors who wish to enroll in courses for which they simultaneously earn high school and university credit. In fact, Texas high school students may select from among 14 different classes that are 100% TEKS aligned in their respective subject areas and are fully compliant with the iNACOL National Standards for Quality Online Courses. Because LU’s dual credit courses have been developed by faculty who also regularly teach these courses on campus, they include the type of depth and rigor that students have come to expect in a contemporary university setting. Courses are available in both 8 and 15-week formats, and students may enroll for fall, spring, and summer terms in any given year. At a cost of $400 per course, the program allows for a substantial tuition savings when compared to undergraduate tuition rates throughout the state. If you are prepared for the demands of college-level coursework, then please consider the quality, convenience, and affordability of LU Online Dual Credit as your gateway to higher education.
