Early College - Dual Credit

Vincennes University is the statewide leader in Early College partnerships. VU's Early College Program is designed for students who want to get a jump start on their college education while still attending high school by offering various pathways which allow students to earn both a high school diploma and an Associate's Degree or a Certificate of Graduation. Transcripted college credits are available to eligible high school students who enroll in Vincennes University courses offered at approved Indiana partner high schools or career centers.
