Cost-Saving Program Allows GCS Students to Earn College Credit at GWU

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擣ollowing their ongoing commitment to provide an affordable, world-class Christian education, officials at 海角网 have signed a Concurrent (Dual) Enrollment Agreement with Gaston (N.C.) Christian School (GSC). For the 2021-2022 school year, GWU and GSC are offering classes that can be taken concurrently for GCS high school credit and GWU college credit.

鈥淚 am grateful to Dr. Marc Stout and his team at Gaston Christian for the wonderful partnership we have just initiated,鈥� shared GWU President Dr. William Downs. 鈥淲e鈥檝e been developing this program for some months now, and it is nice to see it come to full fruition. Strengthening the ties between our two institutions is a clear win-win, and we certainly hope to create a pathway for students from GCS to GWU that will be frequently traveled in the years to come.鈥� 

The GCS classes eligible for concurrent high school and college credit are:

• (GCS) A.P. Statistics = (GWU) Fundamentals of Statistics and Probability (MATH 105)
• (GCS) Honors Psychology = (GWU) General Psychology (PSYC 201)

Students have the potential to earn up to a maximum of 27 credit hours through 海角网. To take part in concurrent (dual) enrollment, GCS students will need to complete a concurrent enrollment application for 海角网, pay the $195 tuition fee for each course they are taking and complete the course at GCS with a B average or better. The students will receive official credit from 海角网, a fully-accredited university, granting three credit hours for each course. This program is cost-effective for families, because the $195 tuition fee for each three-hour course is usually more like $750-$1,000 per single credit hour at most private colleges and universities.

Students will be enrolled in their GCS class for the full school year with enrollment in the concurrent college course at 海角网 being for the 2022 Spring Semester. Beginning in November, students may submit an application and the fee to 海角网, which must be received by Jan. 31, 2022.
