Alpena Community College

Dual enrollment allows students to take college level classes while they are enrolled in high school.  The college courses may be counted for both high school and/or college credit.  Typically students register for 2 courses (3-4 credit hours per course) each semester  This is a great opportunity for students to get a jump start on college while at the same time saving money!   For more information contact Mr. Bowman.
