好几年了, Brescia University has partnered with several local high schools to offer dual credit courses – that is, courses that satisfy both high school and college credit. 在所有这些地方, Brescia University certifies that the high school faculty teaching such courses have appropriate college-level credentials, that prospective 学生 meet Brescia University admissions requirements, and that the courses are taught and student learning is assessed in a way that is equivalent to the rest of the University’s curriculum. 在大多数情况下, 入学s Office personnel travel to the school sites and register 学生 in their local setting. 入学后, Brescia University dual credit 学生 receive a University ID card that enables them to access online Moodle pages for their courses as well as the Library’s digital resources. Students geographically close enough to Brescia may also use their ID card for various Brescia events such as athletic games and campus student activities.
The sites that Brescia University has served by offering dual credit courses at greatly reduced tuition rates include:
- 位于肯塔基州帕迪尤卡的玛丽高中.
- Trinity High School in Whitesville, Ky.
- Daviess County High School in Owensboro, Ky.
- Apollo High School in Owensboro, Ky.
- Owensboro High School in Owensboro, Ky.
2017年春季, Brescia University entered into a partnership with the Owensboro Innovation Academy in which qualified junior and senior high school 学生 could attend Brescia full-time and pursue an associate degree while at the same time completing their high school requirements. Several 学生 in the inaugural class of 2017–2018 are on track to graduate in May 2019 with their associate degrees before they receive their high school diplomas. The close proximity of the two campuses make this an ideal arrangement, as 学生 can easily walk back and forth as their schedules allow.
