Dual Enrollment Partnership Opportunities

Course Offerings

UMass Boston suggests offering introductory courses that are generally transferrable for credit and provide broad based exposure to a discipline, as well as a solid foundation for future studies. Schools should identify a first, second, and third choice when selecting a dual enrollment course as availability is dependent upon several factors including faculty schedules.
