Why not start with a Gen Ed?

A general education (Gen Ed) course is a type of class that is part of the core curriculum required for all students, regardless of their major, at many colleges and universities. These courses are designed to provide a broad foundation of knowledge and skills that are considered essential for all educated individuals. The purpose of general education courses is to ensure that students gain a well-rounded education, develop critical thinking skills, and become more informed and engaged citizens. These courses often encourage interdisciplinary learning and help students develop skills that are valuable in any career, such as analytical thinking, effective communication, and problem-solving.

What are Dual Credit Courses? Dual Credit is a class where a student is allowed to earn high school credit and college credit at the same time. This course may be taught on a college campus, on a high school campus, or online. The course will be in partnership with a Kentucky college or university. The process for enrolling in a dual credit class may be different for each college/university and high school. If you are interested in taking a dual credit class, you should talk to the person who helps with scheduling at your high school.

What are Advanced Placement (AP) Courses? AP courses, or Advanced Placement courses, are special classes you can take in high school that are more challenging than regular classes. They cover college-level material, and if you do well on the final exam, you can earn college credit. This means you might not have to take that class again in college, saving you time and money. AP courses also help you prepare for college by improving your skills in subjects like math, science, and history.
