Dual credit classes are very popular in Iowa high schools.

How It Works

Students take one class and receive both high school credit toward graduation and also earn college credit hours. Students are allowed to take up to thirty college credits while in high school. Not only do the students have a head start in college, but also the classes are free to the students. For some students, this is a 25% cut in college expenses. Who would oppose this?

The Opposition

Some community college professors have serious doubts about the dual credit classes. They are not sure the rigor is the same as it would be in college giving students a false sense of security about their capability to do well in college.
