Dual Enrollment is your chance to get a head start on your college career while also earning high school credits necessary for graduation.

In addition to colleges and universities across Tennessee, colleges nationwide recognize Southwest Tennessee Community College as a leader among two-year institutions and readily transfer the earned credit.
