Distance Learning in High School
Many participating area high schools offer dual-credit courses from WTC through distance learning. Most dual-credit courses are taught via two-way interactive video (ITV). Internet-based and video-based courses are also available depending on the course and school.
High school students qualifying for college admission may also be able to enroll directly at WTC. For more information on dual enrollment and early admissions, click here or email dualcredit@wtc.edu.
