Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment is an acceleration program that allows pre-collegiate students to take postsecondary coursework that simultaneously earn credit toward a high school diploma, a career certificate, and/or a college degree.
Gratz College enrolls high school-age students who desire high-quality, college-level learning. Its most popular offerings are in Hebrew Language. In addition, Gratz operates undergraduate-level programs in partnership with other educational institutions. These include programs for non-matriculated students to earn college credit to eventually submit for transfer credit at other colleges and universities:
- Gratz partners with Heller High, NCSY, and Philadelphia-based synagogue schools to make courses eligible for college credit. All courses are aligned with Gratz’s academic catalogue and syllabi are preapproved by Gratz’s Curriculum Committee. Courses are taught by credentialed instructors.
- Gratz offers dual enrollment programs for high school students seeking concurrent college credit that also fulfill high school requirements. Gratz is currently authorized to deliver dual enrollment in a variety of public and private schools in Pennsylvania.
- Gratz offers credit-by-exam opportunities in Hebrew Language in partnership with Yeshivah of Flatbush.

Despite my busy schedule with sports and clubs, I have been able to fit in Gratz courses for five years. The Jewish education I have received has strengthened my ability to think critically in my Dual Enrollment classes which count for college credit.
