Faculty from MassBay Community College will be teaching these courses, which will bear credit for both high school and college. These credits will be transferable to bachelor’s and associate degree programs at other colleges and universities.
The classes offered will be both in-person and online. There will be two classes available at the new Framingham campus. Courses offered include principles of marketing, critical thinking, contemporary nutrition, introduction to communication, and a health careers exploration. Colleges can turn to printing services to provide more information about their courses, requirements, and scope.
Lisa Slavin, Associate Vice President of Enrollment Management at MassBay, expressed her delight that the college will once again be offering this dual enrollment classes this spring. She said that the Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership, funded by the state, enables students in high school to take courses at the college level and exposes them to new rigor, topics, and professors. Slavin added that this brings the students closer to earning a certificate or a degree while saving money and time for them and their families.
Classes will start Monday, January 22.
