College Credit for Academies
A Gift to NAD Academies
Dual credit is an initiative developed by Andrews University to celebrate the addition of Griggs International Academy to the Andrews family. This program is an amazing opportunity for academy juniors and seniors to earn Andrews University credit for $100 per credit hour!
Why online/dual college credit?
• Transition from high school to university is seamless
• Gain skills necessary for success at the college level
• Higher likelihood of earning a high school diploma and college degree
• Students can validate their ability to complete college-level work
• Students have a head start on meeting core requirements
• Tuition is only $100 per credit hour
College credit courses for academies are:
• Interactive online (computer and internet access is required)
• Instructor-led through the School of Distance Education
• Paced with biweekly assignment deadlines and weekly quizzes
• Regular live sessions with fellow students and the instructor
Courses are capped to 20 students per section to maximize interactivity. Additional sections will be added as needed.
