Below is a quick description of the PSU Dual Enrollment Program:
Lower Merion School District has entered into a partnership with the Penn State Brandywine Campus as part of the district’s commitment to provide juniors and seniors with opportunities for successful transition from high school to college. The Dual Enrollment Program is offered to Harriton’s juniors and seniors and, upon successful completion of the program, provides an opportunity for students to earn up to 13 college credits. Credits earned can be applied to a Penn State degree and may also be considered for transfer to other institutions of higher learning.
Students who are admitted to the program will take the following courses:
Introduction to Business
Social, Legal, and Ethical Environment of Business
Introductory Microeconomic Analysis and Policy
Introductory Macroeconomic Analysis and Policy
The PSU Dual Enrollment Program, a realistic college forum with on-site academic support, will help students establish a collaborative academic bridge from high school to college and facilitate students’ preparedness for a college environment.
