This semester, 868 students take dual-credit classes because of an increase in the number of online courses available to high school students, said Dale Wasson, senior associate vice president and special assistant to the president. “The growth is a result of the institutional strategic decision to make dual-credit available to more students,” he said. “Basically what you see here is the result of the university pushing out dual-credit online, which it’s never much been here before.” Nichols said by taking her English and political science classes through a UTA online course, she completed her high school requirements and prepared for college simultaneously.
