Kickstart your future while you're still in high school

Want to get a head start on college? Fort Lewis College's Dual Enrollment program lets high school students earn college credits while completing their high school coursework. You'll save time, reduce future college costs, and gain valuable experience in college-level classes. Whether you plan to attend college, enter the workforce, or explore your options after graduation, dual enrollment can help you build confidence and prepare for what's next.

  • Earn college credits in high school: Credits apply toward a degree at FLC and may transfer to other colleges and universities as Guaranteed Transfer (GT) credits.
  • Build skills for college and careers: Strengthen critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills that support your future goals.
  • Receive direct admission to FLC: Dual enrollment seniors are eligible for direct admission to FLC if they choose to attend after high school graduation.
  • Get a head start on success: Students who participate in dual enrollment often earn higher GPAs and complete college degrees more quickly.

Ready to get started? Talk with your high school counselor and connect with the FLC Dual Enrollment Coordinator to explore your options.

"These courses helped me experience and explore many different classes and gain lots of knowledge not only of the course content but also of how I am as a student. When I did Dual Enrollment my senior year, I had no definite idea of what I wanted to do with my life. Having the opportunity to take college courses in high school helped me narrow down what I do and do not like and took me a step closer to figuring out what major I want to study"
