The Dual Enrollment program at Columbus Technical College (Columbus Tech) gives high school students in Hamilton the chance to earn college credits while still in high school. Geared towards students in grades 10 to 12, this program offers courses that align with both high school and college curricula. These classes, often taught by college instructors, allow students to earn up to 15 credit hours per semester. With the support of the Georgia Student Finance Commission, tuition, fees, and required books are covered for the first 30 credit hours. Classes are available not only on the Columbus Tech main campus but also in local high schools like Carver High School and Central High School. This initiative not only expedites the college education process but also aids in career readiness by offering opportunities to earn technical certificates in high-demand fields. This reflects Columbus Tech's dedication to accessible education and a smooth academic transition from high school to post-secondary education.
