Dual Credit Courses

Dual credit is a unique opportunity for students to earn both college credit and high school credit for the same course. 

Hamilton Southeastern High School has partnerships with multiple colleges and universities to be able to offer students many options for earning dual credit. 

When a student takes a dual credit course, they will be given the opportunity at the beginning of the semester to enroll in the partner college/university and to register for the college course.  Each college or university has specific requirements that students must meet in order to qualify for college admission. 

Tuition for dual credit courses is significantly reduced (and even free!) compared to what students and families would pay at the college or university.  Taking dual credit courses in high school saves students time and money, while also preparing students for the rigor of college. 

College credits earned in dual credit classes can transfer to any institution (although transfer equivalencies vary by institution).

Indiana College Core

Hamilton Southeastern High School has partnered with Indiana University-Bloomington to offer the Indiana College Core. The completion of the Indiana College Core through Indiana University-Bloomington satisfies the 30 credit hours of general education credit requirements at IU-Bloomington and can transfer as a block to satisfy the equivalent general education credit requirements at another public college or university in Indiana.

Besides meeting the specific requirements to qualify to earn dual credit in a particular course, students must maintain a GPA of a 2.0 or higher in all coursework leading to the Indiana College Core.  

Students can take non-IU/ACP courses, including many AP courses, to meet the Indiana College Core course requirements; however, at least 15 of the required 30 credits must be earned through IU/ACP (Advance College Project). 

To earn the Indiana College Core, students must complete all six subject area requirements.  Completed courses may not count toward more than one requirement (i.e. no “double-dipping”).
