High School Students
Concurrent and Dual Enrollment
BRCC offers two options for high school students to earn college credits that also satisfy high school program requirements. To be eligible, students must be high school students at least 16 years of age who are prepared for the demands of college work and who can benefit from the opportunity.
Concurrent High School Student Admission
Concurrent high school student admission is designed for high school students who wish to take a course at BRCC based on their special interest or ability area. Students are part-time and remain as full-time students in their high school.
Dual Enrollment High School Student Admission
Dual enrollment is designed for high school juniors and seniors who are enrolled in special BRCC courses offered at the high school during the regular school day. The school system and the College must approve courses within this program.
