Dual enrollment is free for qualifying Prep students. College credit at no cost to your family.
Palm Bay Prep students have the opportunity to earn real college credit while still in high school — at no cost. Through dual enrollment, students take college-level courses that count toward both their high school diploma and a college degree at the same time.
Students who complete enough dual enrollment coursework could graduate from Prep with their high school diploma and an Associate of Arts (AA) degree simultaneously.
