Dual Enrollment
While attending Florida Prep, qualified students can earn college credits through partnerships with leading institutions, including Florida Institute of Technology (FIT/Florida Tech), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and Eastern Florida State College. Students may pursue advanced coursework in aeronautics, aviation, engineering, computing, mathematics, and the liberal arts.
Florida Prep’s Dual Enrollment program is designed as a strategic pathway to top universities, enabling students to transition seamlessly from high school into competitive collegiate programs. Through this model, students not only earn college credits, but also develop the academic foundation, discipline, and readiness required for success at leading universities.
College-Level Learning, Built Into the School Day
Florida Prep offers college-accredited courses taught directly on campus by university-approved instructors, giving students the opportunity to earn college credit without ever leaving campus. These courses are seamlessly built into each student’s academic schedule, providing a structured and supportive way to experience college-level academics while still in a high school environment.
Why Choose Dual Enrollment?

Beyond academic enrichment, Dual Enrollment provides a high-impact, cost-effective pathway. Students may significantly reduce future tuition costs while strengthening their competitiveness for university admission and long-term success.
