Dual Credit

The mission of the El Paso Community College Dual Credit and Early College High School Program is to offer qualified high school students a quality, seamless pathway to post-secondary education by providing college courses aligned with academic or workforce degrees and/or certificates.

El Paso Community College demonstrates its continued support to the community by offering college courses for Dual Credit at no cost to students. The Dual Credit Program at EPCC offers fundamental core courses to qualified high school students. The college course is a replacement rather than an addition as students take just one class, the college course, and earn both high school and college credit. The courses are taught by instructors credentialed by EPCC. One of the goals of the program is to provide a positive collegiate learning experience for participating high school students. In compliance with Texas State Law, any qualified high school student, regardless of grade level, may be enrolled in core curriculum, career and technical education, or foreign language college courses for Dual Credit.

The Dual Credit and Early College Program is part of EPCC and serves an underserved portion of the local community. Students who have been involved in the Dual Credit and Early College High School Program are three times more likely to graduate from high school, transfer to a post-secondary institution, and complete a college degree or certificate.

Dual Credit and ECHS students have access to the same resources and services available to traditional students.
