Dual Enrollment
The Arizona Western College Dual Enrollment program, gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credits while still working toward their diploma.

Student Success Stories
I first heard about dual enrollment as a sophomore and decided to get a head start on college. It allowed me to explore new subjects and develop new skills. I hope more students take advantage of this opportunity.
I was able to graduate high school with an associate degree thanks to dual enrollment. It saved me time and money, and I felt more prepared for my future college journey.
Concurrent Enrollment Students
With Concurrent Enrollment, you can take college classes directly at Arizona Western College (on campus or online) while still in high school. Unlike Dual Enrollment, these courses are not taught at your high school—they’re regular AWC classes. You’ll experience college-level learning firsthand, build your transcript early, and get a head start on your degree. To enroll, you'll go through the standard AWC admissions and registration process, just like any other college student.
