<p>How different is this in actuality than the dual enrollment programs some states have? In WA, you can take your last two years of high school courses at the local community college and they count for both high school and college credit. Then you enter a four-year school as an 18-year junior. Of course, if you go out of state, those credits may not transfer, but it’s the same basic concept. There are GPA requirements in order to start the program and GPA requirements that have to be maintained, but no testing required other than the placement tests for math and English.</p>
