Our brochure just states "high school students." The following statement is found in the Undergraduate Academic Catalog :

"To be eligible to enroll in an on-campus or off-campus course for college credit, juniors or seniors must have an ACT composite score of 21 or higher and have at least a 3.00 grade point average on a scale of 4.00 OR a Combined Percentile Index of 100 or higher and have at least a 3.00 grade point average on a scale of 4.00. In addition, placement exams and specific ACT sub-scores are required for select courses. Freshmen and sophomores must score at the 90th percentile or above on the ACT or SAT to be eligible to enroll. If dual enrollment is in a music activity, the student is also required to obtain the approval of the appropriate high school and University instructor."

There are additional requirements to qualify for individual courses that are listed in our dual credit brochure.

The answer is dependent upon whether the class is a year-long dual credit class or a semester class.

For a Semester Long Class

For a Year Long Class

The Missouri Coordinating Board of Higher Education requires Dual Credit instructors to have a minimum of a master's degree that includes substantial study (a minimum of 18 graduate-level semester hours) appropriate to the academic field in which they are teaching. Approval of specific courses and respective dual credit instructor will be based upon credentials and recommendation of the appropriate Department Chair.
