McHenry County College is seeing an explosion in enrollment growth for dual-credit courses — a 61 percent increase in two years, from 916 in 2014 to 1,475 in 2016. The increase largely is due to a computer literacy course launched this year in which 600 high school students are enrolled and being taught by their own teachers. Eighty percent of those students are freshmen and sophomores, officials said. The computer literacy course is free and offered as part of the College in the High School option. Though typically only juniors and seniors are allowed to take dual-credit courses, MCC got a waiver from the Illinois Community College Board to offer its computer literacy course to freshmen and sophomores, as well.
