Joint Enrollment

The primary difference between Joint Enrollment and Dual Enrollment is Joint Enrollment earns college credit only, whereas Dual Enrollment credits count for both high school and college. Joint Enrollment students may be enrolled either part-time or full-time. Joint enrollment is an opportunity for the academically outstanding high school student to enroll as a special undergraduate student. This program is designed to allow superior high school students to utilize AMSC resources to provide extra enrichment and challenge to their junior or senior year. All schedules are subject to the approval of the appropriate high school official and Atlanta Metropolitan State College.

AMSC offers over 46 programs of study and a bachelor's program in Biological Science. As you explore the benefits of a dual enrollment, remember that most associate degrees consist of 60 academic credits, 42 of which are called general education credits, and 18 credits related more specifically to the program that you choose. Joint Enrollment students have all the benefits of any other student such as:

• an academic advisor,
• academic support services, and
• yes, basketball games (Go Trailblazers!), student center and other student activities, such as the game room.
