Louisiana College Dual Enrollment 2015‐2016
Beginning in the fall 2015-2016 academic year, Louisiana College will offer courses for college credit for high school students who
are either enrolled in homeschool programs or in the Rapides Parish School District. College courses may be taken at a Rapides
Parish high school with an approved high school instructor or may be taken on the College campus or online through the
College. Courses offered through the College are taught by professional LC faculty, many with Ph.Ds. This opportunity is
especially helpful for homeschool and block schedule students who want to get a cost-effective “jump-start” on their college career
at a faith-based institution that is relevant, rigorous and relational.
