High School-to-College Transition Program for Dual Credit

Dual credit provides intro to college: Cowan High School students Berkley Koger and Courtney Thomas experienced the university classroom without leaving their high school.

Through our College Transition Program (CTP), you can earn college credit and at the same time fulfill your high school graduation requirements. Our dual credit program prepares you for the rigors of a college experience and lets you start exploring majors that interest you.

There are two ways to participate:

Take Courses at Your Own High School 
These courses are taught on site at your high school by local teachers who are approved as adjunct instructors by Ball State. These courses are modified to meet both your high school requirements and provide additional instruction to satisfy collegiate standards.

Take an Online Course
If your school doesn't offer the dual credit courses that you need at your high school, you might consider taking an online course offered via Ball State University or the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities, the state's only public residential high school for gifted and talented students. Learn more about online study.

Dual credit classes are offered at a reduced tuition rate in approved high schools throughout Indiana.

Ball State is one of the recommended preferred providers of dual credit by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education.
