  USC Aiken Dual Enrollment Options

Students interested in dual enrollment at USCA must contact Ms. McBride in the AHS Counseling Office in order to start their application process.  Please email: tmcbride@acpsd.net Applications for Fall 2023 open in February 2023. All USCA programs are off AHS campus.

Dual enrollment at UofSC Aiken provides high achieving local public, private or home-schooled high school students with the opportunity to take college courses that will enhance their high school experience while experiencing the challenges of a collegiate classroom setting.

Dual enrollment eases the transition as students leave high school and enter a four-year university setting.  Students are exposed to personalized instruction in traditional UofSC Aiken courses with UofSC Aiken faculty and students.

UofSC Aiken strongly encourages high school students to enroll in Advanced Placement (AP) courses that are available at their high school in addition to dual enrollment courses at USC Aiken.  Combined, high school students will be well prepared for the rigors of a four-year institution.
