College Affiliated Adjunct Faculty
CCA Faculty, with a Master’s degree in their discipline, apply for approval as Adjunct Faculty for the affiliating college. They teach the class syllabi on the CCA campus and are mentored by a Faculty Advisor from the college who confirms the class is being taught according to the college requirements.
Upon completion of these classes, students who score within an acceptable grade range receive a transcript from the college indicating awarded credits. This transcript is separate, and in addition to the student’s high school transcript, which also indicates these class credits for a high school achievement – hence the title “Dual Credit."
Depending on the number of Dual Credit courses a student takes, in many cases, it allows them to enroll at the university to which they are accepted with a second semester Freshman or even a Sophomore status. This is encouraging to many who want to finish college early to reduce college expenses, desire to pursue a double major, or move on toward their Master’s degree in 4 years or less.
Because of the opportunity to accelerate their access to college-level courses, CCA students are high-performing academics, who are accepted into strong university programs around the US. The intrinsic rigor of the Dual Credit class opportunity prepares CCA graduates so they continue to do well at the university level. All syllabi are available on our website for the Dual Credit courses. Below is a sample of courses:
