For high school students looking to get a head start on their college education, The Academy at Method Schools offers an incredible opportunity—our dual enrollment program, which allows students to complete Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) coursework. This pathway is designed for students planning to transfer to a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus, ensuring they meet essential general education requirements while still in high school.
Students gain significant academic, financial, and personal benefits by enrolling in IGETC courses through our dual enrollment program. Here’s why this program is a game-changer for motivated learners:
One of the most significant advantages of dual enrollment is cost savings. College tuition is expensive, but by taking IGETC courses through our program, students earn college credits for free or at a significantly reduced cost. Completing these credits before entering college means students can graduate faster, reducing overall tuition expenses.
The IGETC framework is designed for students planning to transfer to CSU or UC schools. By completing these general education requirements early, students enter college with fewer course requirements, giving them more flexibility in choosing their major courses or even graduating earlier.
Colleges value students who challenge themselves academically. Completing IGETC coursework through dual enrollment demonstrates the following:
✅ Academic readiness for college-level work
✅ Time management & self-discipline
✅ A proactive approach to higher education
Having college credits on a transcript can make students stand out in competitive university admissions processes.
By knocking out general education requirements early, students can:
This flexibility makes college more enjoyable and allows students to shape their academic experience to fit their career goals.
Transitioning from high school to college can be overwhelming, but students who complete dual enrollment courses often feel more confident in their abilities. They experience:
✅ College-level coursework & expectations
✅ Stronger academic skills (critical thinking, research, and writing)
✅ A smoother transition to university life
By experiencing college classes early, students enter their freshman year prepared and ready to succeed.
At The Academy, we provide personalized guidance and support to ensure students thrive in dual enrollment courses. Our educators help students select the right IGETC courses, stay on track, and maximize their opportunities.
Whether aiming for a UC, CSU, or another top university, completing IGETC coursework through our dual enrollment program is a smart, strategic move toward your academic goals.
