LCAD Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment lets you dive into real college-level art and design classes while you’re still in high school. You earn both high school and college credit at the same time, giving you a serious head start on your creative future.

Take 3-unit undergraduate art and design courses at a deeply reduced cost, about $1,200 instead of $5,070. Even better, many high schools and districts offer programs to help cover tuition, so be sure to check what support is available to you.

Learn your way. Courses are offered in person during evenings and weekends, as well as online in both synchronous (live) and asynchronous (on your own time) formats, making it easy to fit college classes into your schedule.

Dual Enrollment is open to high school juniors and seniors. You’ll need approval from your high school counselor, submit the Dual Enrollment Approval Form, and you can enroll in up to two Dual Enrollment courses per semester.

Your portfolio is everything when applying to top art and design programs. Dual Enrollment gives you a real edge by helping you create college-level work early, so you graduate with a stronger portfolio, stand out in applications, compete for larger scholarships, and even put yourself on track to finish college sooner.
