Still in high school? Dallas College offers a number of programs designed to help high school students get on the fast track to a college education. Explore these programs to find one that fits your goals and interests.

In partnership with local high schools, Dallas College is able to offer college courses, taught by approved adjunct instructors to qualified high school students for college credit. Students are able to earn credit for both the high school class as well as earning college credit at the same time, hence the term dual credit. These college credits from Dallas College are transferable, costs less than regular undergraduate tuition and prepares students for the anticipated rigor of higher education.

All students enrolled in a dual credit and early college high school dual credit course, regardless of their choice to register for college credit or take it for high school credit only, should expect the course rigor and student expectations to compare to the rigor and expectations placed on university-level undergraduate students enrolled in the same on-campus course at Dallas College.

Dual Credit

Dual Credit gives qualified high school students an opportunity to earn college credit while completing high school requirements.

Early College High School

Early College High School is a partnership with Dallas College to provide pathways of dual credit courses that lead towards college-level career and technical education certificates and associate degrees.

Texas Pre-Freshman Engineering Program (TexPREP)

TexPREP is a summer enrichment program that provides pre-college students the opportunity to study science, technology, engineering and math in a college setting.

Richland Collegiate High School

Richland Collegiate High School (RCHS) is a unique high school designed to provide a rigorous academic experience for high school juniors and seniors.

Dallas County Promise

Dallas County Promise covers the cost of tuition at Dallas College for up to three years or the completion of an associate degree (whichever comes first). Promise Scholars will also be matched with a Success Coach who will serve as a mentor to help students beginning at the end of their senior year through to college completion.
