Dual Enrollment

What is Dual Enrollment?

Simply put, dual enrollment lets local high school senior and junior students enroll in college classes to meet their high school graduation requirements and start earning college credit.

UTC’s dual enrollment options include enrolling in courses on their high school's campus, online or on UTC’s campus.

Have you completed your sophomore year of high school and have a 3.0 GPA? You’re eligible for dual enrollment.

Get ahead. Be prepared.

Knock out a few college classes before you graduate from high school. You’ll get a jump-start on your college career and be that much closer to your college degree.

By taking a few college courses while you’re still in high school, you get a taste of what your future holds. Our faculty don’t know you’re a high school student—you’ll be working alongside college students, completing the same assignments and meeting the same requirements.

The transition from high school to college will be that much easier.

And if you don’t plan on attending college at UTC, most of the credits you earn here will transfer.

Course Offerings for Spring 2026

   ART1110: Introduction to Art

This course exposes students to art and different themes of art-making across time and space. It teaches students to identify, describe, contextualize, and analyze artworks from a wide range of media, as well as apply these observations to their lives outside of the classroom. By bridging the gap between art of the past and our contemporary visual world, this course expands students’ understanding of visual history, how images come to produce meaning, and how the nature of visual experience is constructed. The course is organized thematically and showcases significant artworks from cultures across the globe ranging from the prehistoric-era to the contemporary moment. Focus is divided between learning historical trends, critical concepts, and interpreting artworks. These materials are considered in isolation as well as within the socio-cultural contexts that produced them.
