What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual enrollment allows academically talented students to earn college credit while still in high school to maximize their time in advanced classes and get a head start on their college degree.
Courses are taught at area high schools by high school faculty who have been approved by their respective University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) academic departments to be adjunct faculty.
Credit earned is based on a student’s cumulative performance throughout the duration of the course. Courses can range from one to five college credits per course.
Dual enrollment students shall be held to the same standards of achievement and grading as those expected of students taking the same course at UNO.
Mission
The Mission of UNO's Office of General Education and Dual Enrollment is twofold:
- to foster the development of certain intellectual skills and dispositions in our students essential to informed citizenship and an ability to effectively deal with complexity, diversity, and change, and
- to deepen UNO's partnership and engagement with the local community to promote academic achievement and opportunity for Nebraska youths through early-college opportunities.
Vision
To be a program recognized locally, regionally, and nationally for delivering high-quality undergraduate general education courses in innovative, meaningful, and productive ways through close partnership with a diverse metropolitan population and its secondary and post-secondary education providers.
