Camden Military Academy Dual Enrollment

Camden Military Academy high school students have the opportunity to earn credit in both high school and college while taking courses from the University of South Carolina and Central Carolina Technical College (Math classes) in the Dual Enrollment Program. This is an additional fee. For more information, please call LTC John Heflin at the main office number.  The primary purpose of offering dual credit courses is to deliver high-quality experiences to high- performing high school students.  Dual credit courses are suitable to challenge students who are mastering the high school curriculum and who require college-level course work that is more rigorous than the high school curriculum.  Dual credit courses enrich and extend the high school curriculum and provide introductory college coursework.  Dual credit courses promote gradual transition to the college work load.  Dual credit courses give students a jump start on college.  Cadets must be an 11th/12th grade student.  Cadets must have at least 3.0 GPA and teacher recommendation prior to enrolling in course.

*Each cadet must agree to all of the classroom and academy rules. If a cadet becomes a behavioral problem, he will be permanently removed from the class. Additionally, he will receive a “WF” and no refund will be given.

The CMA (High School) grade is ten points higher than the USC (college) grade.

Dual credit courses receive 1 GPA boost.
