Dual Enrollment (Program of Excellence)

The Dual Enrollment Program is designed to allow superior high school students to utilize Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University resources to provide extra enrichment and challenge to their senior year provided they fulfill these minimum requirements: completion of the 11th grade with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in all high school courses, and a minimum ACT score of 20. Students must have also completed the following high school courses with a minimum grade C; English I, II & II, Algebra I & II, one additional math course, such as geometry, Trigonometry, Advance Mathematics or Calculus, and Biology and Chemistry.
