<p>So at my Early College High school, we all take Dual Credit classes at our local college, but we offer no AP as far as I know. Is it better to have AP or DC or are they both equally valuable? </p>
<p>It depends.</p>
<p>State universities often accept dual credit community college courses according to pre-made articulation agreements. But private universities often distrust dual credit or community college courses.</p>
<p>College courses available to high school students could be more advanced than those that AP courses try to emulate, although you need to check your specific program to see if such courses are offered.</p>
<p>If the college courses available to high school students are regular college courses, or are taught like regular college courses (i.e. less hand holding), then they can usefully give you practice in college course time and work management that high school courses (including AP courses) typically give less of. Such experience can help you better transition to college.</p>
<p>But is it better on an application to schools such as Rochester or UCB if I have 60 hours of DC classes or the equivalent in AP classes?</p>
