Dual Enrollment

Holy Family University has established partnerships with selected area high schools to create pathways that help students and educators accelerate their progress toward a university education. 

Through these agreements, participants can take dual-credit courses offered jointly by their high school and the university, allowing them to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously.

Courses are taught by Holy Family’s distinguished faculty and count toward degree requirements, helping students shorten their overall time to degree completion while gaining valuable college-level experience in a supportive academic environment.
