The Dual Enrollment program is facilitated by the Office of Collegiate Affairs. As a highlight of the academic program, the Personal Project/Honors Personal Project, completed during the sophomore year, fulfills a graduation requirement and provides students with the opportunity to work over several months in an area of personal interest with an adult mentor.

This research experience results in a final product, a presentation to a faculty panel, and a paper reflecting on the learning process.
