High School Dual Enrollment

Students in the program enroll in regular college-level courses at Towson University during the summer, fall, or spring terms and attend class alongside other college students.  College credit is earned for any courses completed, and will be posted to a Towson University transcript. Students may take any TU course, provided the prerequisites have been met and if there is available space in the class.

Please note that admission to the Dual Enrollment program does not guarantee later admission to TU as a degree-seeking student.

Tuition and Fees

Students attending a Maryland public high school will only be responsible for university mandatory fees, as tuition will be billed directly to the student’s county public school system. All other students must pay the standard tuition and mandatory fees.
