25 August 2020
To align with recent changes to several regional high schools’ academic schedules, Black Hills State University is now offering more options for dual credit courses, online.
BHSU dual credit coordinator Taylor Watkins says in addition to getting a jump start on your career, “Dual credit helps you get acclimated to college courses and allows for more flexibility and opportunities when you enter college full time.”
In addition to the standard list of full-semester dual credit opportunities, the following 12 courses will start after Labor Day and continue for a 12-week period.
ARTH 100: Art Appreciation
ECON 201: Principles of Microeconomics
ENGL 101: Composition I

POLS 100: American Government
PSYC 101: General Psychology
SOC 100: Introduction to Sociology

By establishing these 12-week courses, Watkins says BHSU is giving high school students more time to prepare for their college classes and gives them a schedule that aligns more closely with their high school schedule this year.
