Want to get a head start on college while still enrolled high school? Not able to fit a course into your BHS schedule? Then Dual Enrollment is the perfect opportunity for you!
Vermont’s Dual Enrollment Program allows high school students to take college courses while still enrolled in high school. Participating students earn college credits, reducing the time it takes to get a college degree, potentially reducing the cost associated with college, while challenging themselves through college level curriculum.
Students are encouraged to contact Dhyana Bradley via email dbradley@bsdvt.org or phone (802)238-9453 to set up an appointment.
