“Dual Enrollment differs from Advanced Placement classes in that the students are earning their credit throughout the class. It does not rely on a high-stakes exam at the end of the course,” Mrs. Bateman, English Dual Enrollment teacher said. “You have to pay for your textbook, but the tuition is free. AP classes you have to pay for the exam, so it costs about the same.”
