Our D will graduate with an associates degree from a 4 year school and 57 hours of transferable Duel Enrollment credit. She attends one of the math and science residential schools which I would highly recommend.

That said, we have encouraged her NOT to use this credit to graduate early. We’ve suggested that she look into opportunities for internships, study abroad, and accelerated masters programs. I suppose this defers a year’s earnings, but I agree with the consensus that these actives constitute a year well spent.
