In Indiana, dual credit courses are those which high school students may take to earn both high school and college credits. Dual credit courses are taught by regular high school faculty or by regular or adjunct college faculty either at the high school, at the college or university, or sometimes through online courses or distance education. Dual credit is offered by both state and independent (private, regionally accredited) colleges and universities. Dual credit is one of several options in which a high school student may fulfill Core 40 with Academic Honors or Technical Honors.
Students wishing to fulfill Core 40 with Academic Honors or Technical Honors diploma requirements are encouraged to choose dual credit courses from either the Core Transfer Library (CTL) or from the courses listed by the Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI). Courses from both the CTL and ICI list of courses maximize transferability of credit for courses and also meet the dual credit requirements necessary for Core 40 with Academic Honors or Technical Honors. If students choose a dual credit course NOT on the CTL or on the courses listed by ICI, they should directly contact the college they plan to attend to see how that course can be used at that institution. Indiana colleges and universities provide many opportunities for students to earn college credit while still attending high school.
