Dual Credit High School Partnership Programs
Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC) provides numerous opportunities for area high school students to earn college credits while still in high school. Explore the dual credit programs below to find out how you can get a jump start on your college career at a reduced tuition rate.
Col-Cred
TVCC's Col-Cred program is a partnership with area high schools which gives students
an opportunity to earn both high school and college credits for specific high school
academic classes. Classes are taught on the high school campus by qualified high school
instructors and the registration process is facilitated through the high school instructors.
Col-Cred classes are usually core classes that meet general education requirements
for Oregon and Idaho universities. Examples of Col-Cred classes are Writing, Math,
Science, and Speech.
Col-Cred tuition cost is $45/credit in Oregon and $75/credit in Idaho. Ask your high
school if there is tuition assistance or reimbursement opportunities. Idaho students
may use their Fast Forward funding toward Col-Cred classes.
