Dual Enrollment
Methacton High School has partnerships with three institutions for Dual Enrollment opportunities for students. Students may receive both college and high school credit for the successful completion of the dual enrollment course. MHS advises that each student research the schools interested in attending post-high school to verify the transferability of Methacton’s Dual Enrollment, MCCC, or HACC’s course credits. All colleges/universities do not always take DE class credits and students should research potential transferability to the institution in which they are interested. Given that there are financial obligations to dual enrollment courses, if you are interested in enrolling but have financial hardship, please reach out to your school counselor.
North Montco Technical Career Center (NMTCC) Courses
Methacton students have the opportunity to apply for dual enrollment courses offered through North Montco Technical Career Center:
- DE Intro to Biotech
- DE Techniques and Instruments in Biotech
- DE Human Body in Health and Disease
- DE Health Sciences
All programs are very competitive with an application process. These programs are available to all NMTCC sending schools. The classes are delivered on site at NMTCC or at a local hospital.
Montgomery County Community College (MCCC) Courses
Methacton High School offers dual enrollment courses through Montgomery County Community College. Asynchronous course options include:
- DE Introduction to Education
- Macroeconomics
- Microeconomics
- DE Chemistry (offered on-site at MHS through MCCC)
Our instructors are certified by MCCC to deliver this program. Students who enroll in DE Introduction to Education will be required to obtain clearances as well as complete approximately twenty (20) hours of classroom observations.
Students are subject to additional costs for books, and registration fees are incurred by taking these courses. The availability of these courses will depend on student interest, as no course will run with fewer than 10 students registering and total available seats. These courses will receive a weighted value of 1.1 in the calculation of Grade Point Average and Class Rank.
For dual credit classes taught by approved high school teachers, students will be charged the cost of only one credit for a three or four credit course (this only applies to DE CHEM 121). The previous charge was $191.00 for the course (plus the cost of the text). An increase in the charge per credit is expected for 2025-26, but is not yet available. These fees are payable directly to MCCC. Students are also responsible for purchasing the textbook and any supplemental items requested by the instructor.
