We were the first school in Henderson to offer dual credit through the UNR partnership.
We find that students, they maybe don't need an associates degree when they graduate high school, but they do need is they need to get those first level classes out of the way so that when they get into college they will have the opportunity to get through in four years.
I'm learning more than I would in a regular class just because I feel like the assignments are more, you know, fulfilling and challenging.
It's a great way to get ahead, in like the college experience, if you are planning on going to UNR Do you plan on going to college at all?
I do plan on going to college.
You know, that's something that I've been looking forward to in the future.
So these credits that Ill have really help me out that Ill have to take less in college.
Every students should at least take one dual credit, if not more, because you never know.
You never know where your paths going to lie up.
And just to know you have some college credits is going to be very beneficial.
