Summary:
|
Missouri Western State University (MWSU) is committed to serving the students and communities in Missouri through collaborative work with school districts in the MWSU’s service area. Consistent with the Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development, the Coordinating Board for Higher Education, and the laws of the state of Missouri, MWSU is dedicated to ensuring the delivery of quality dual credit courses and dual enrollment opportunities, so that it may continue to support college enrollment and completion of Missouri students. By entering into this Agreement, MWSU and School District seek to provide opportunities for academic acceleration for students by enriching and extending the high school curriculum, providing rigorous college coursework, and avoiding unnecessary duplication in coursework as students transition from high school to college.
Dual Credit
Dual credit enables qualified high school students to take college-level courses taught by qualified high school instructors. Students simultaneously receive academic credit for the course from both the high school and MWSU. The Instructor of Record is a MWSU department-approved high school teacher. The Instructor of Record must have a graduate degree in field or a graduate degree and a minimum of 18 hours of graduate credit in field.
Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment enables qualified high school students to take college-level courses that are taught by a MWSU Faculty member while simultaneously enrolled in the high school and the University. Credit is awarded at the university and the high school level.
