BENEFITS
The benefits of EE dual credit classes are many!

• Very small class sizes (fewer than 10 students)
• Christian instructors
• Comfortable homeschool atmosphere
• Classmates of similar high school age
• In-person classes taught on the EE campus (not online)
• Hands-on labs (science classes)
• In-person math lessons (not a computer lab course)
• Ability to complete general academic coursework prior to attending college

There are also some special benefits of taking dual credit courses through LeTourneau University:

• College credit from an respected university (not community college)
• Courses taught from a distinctly Christian worldview
• Instructors that meet LeTourneau University's required standards
• Opportunity to qualify for a significant dual credit scholarship to LeTourneau University 
• No testing required. (A transcript showing a 3.0 is required.)

Please be aware that EE must charge fees for our dual credit classes. We are unable to provide the same discounts that the colleges can provide directly. Many families consider the opportunity to take our in-person dual credit classes in a very small, personal class setting with other homeschooled high school students from a Christian teacher in a comfortable homeschool setting to be worth the expense. Our classes are still a bargain when compared to LeTourneau's reguar tuition rates.
