Dual Enrollment

Dual Credit Program

LCHS partners with several colleges which provides the opportunity to earn college credit while still attending high school. Some of these courses require a fee and/or placement test to participate. 

Some of the courses are ‘College in High School’ courses. These courses are taught by LCHS teachers who work with the partnered colleges on the curriculum. Note that the acceptance of “College in the High School” credits by other colleges is ultimately determined by the individual colleges.

The dual credit classes, taught by LCHS teachers are as follows:

 

  • English 101 - Composition (Seniors Only)
  • English 102 - Literature (Seniors Only)
  • History 103 - History of the United States I
  • History 104 - History of the United States II
  • History 201 - Western Civilization I
  • History 202 - Western Civilization II
  • Digital Media Production
  • Advanced Web Design Coding
 

LCHS offers ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP courses; these courses are taught by a college professor at LCHS. 

Students who voluntarily withdraw from a dual credit class AFTER THE COLLEGE WITHDRAWAL REFUND DATE will be required to reimburse LCHS for any registration and credit costs paid by Lancaster Catholic.

Entrepreneurial Program

Lancaster Catholic is partnering with Immaculata University to provide students with the opportunity to earn credits within our building. Students may be asked to purchase specific materials by the professors. These classes are only open to juniors and seniors. The acceptance of Immaculata credits by other colleges/universities is ultimately determined by each individual institution. The Entrepreneurial dual credit classes are two separate classes that meet in consecutive semesters.

 

An application/teacher recommendation form will be required before final acceptance into the program. The courses are capped at 20 students. 

 

Dual credit classes are as follows:

 

  • Entrepreneurial Leadership, 7451
  • Entrepreneurial Practicum, 7452
