“Troy University is enhancing access to higher education for high school students by offering affordable college-level courses,” said Sohail Agboatwala, Senior Vice Chancellor of Student Services and Administration, in an online announcement.

“This initiative gives students a valuable head start on their academic journey, allowing them to save time and money as they work toward their degrees.

Dual enrollment is available to students in 10th, 11th and 12th grades, as well as homeschool and privately schooled students from regionally accredited high schools who have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, said the announcement. 

It is required that students score at least a 20 on the ACT, a 1030 on the SAT or provide a letter of recommendation from a high school administrator. ACT, SAT, or Placement Test scores are also required to take a math or English course.
