Dual Enrollment can save you time and money on your college education!
Perry Plugged-In is excited to welcome Kimberly Gunn from Central Georgia Technical College to discuss dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. Dual enrollment is a great way for students to get ahead by taking college courses while still in high school. Students who dual enroll can earn college credit, which can save time and money. In addition, dual enrollment gives students a chance to get a taste of college life and decide if it's the right fit for them. Central Georgia Technical College offers a variety of dual enrollment programs, so students can find an option that best suits their needs and interests. We encourage all high school students to explore the benefits of dual enrollment and consider taking advantage of this great opportunity. Thanks for tuning in!
