Elizabethtown College is providing an opportunity for high school students in the Camp Hill School District to experience college coursework early by offering Dual Enrollment courses. 

Students can begin their post-secondary education with a full year’s worth of academic credit by participating in courses across all six of Etown’s Schools, including the School of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS). Courses are offered in a traditional on-campus classroom, or as a flexible online program.

“We’re excited to enter a partnership with Camp Hill School District to offer high school students a head start on their college journey and introduce them to Elizabethtown College’s transformative educational experience,” Elizabethtown College Vice President for Enrollment Management, Marketing and Communications Keri Straub said. “By earning college credits while still in high school, students can accelerate their path to a degree, making a high-quality college education more accessible and affordable.”

Etown works with more than 15 partner schools from throughout the region to offer Dual Enrollment. 

Dual Enrollment at Etown benefits high school students by allowing them to:

  • Explore academic interests early in preparation for postsecondary studies.
  • Accumulate college credits at a significantly reduced cost and strengthen the possibility of completing a postsecondary education early.
  • Supplement educational knowledge achieved through Advanced Placement (AP) College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) coursework.
  • Learn alongside college-level students either in an on-campus classroom setting or in online courses
  • Access entry-level courses without any prerequisites

By participating in the program, students also have access to personalized academic advising and various support resources to be successful in their dual enrollment courses.

The Dual Enrollment agreement marks the latest partnership between Etown and Camp Hill School District. Recently, Etown’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS) announced a partnership with Capital Area Intermediate Unit (IU) to offer a 15% discount on tuition for undergraduate and graduate-level programs for all employees, along with their spouses and dependents, of school districts served by the Capital Area Intermediate Unit, which includes Camp Hill School District.
