Choose your state to find the homeschool college-enrollment route, who pays tuition, and what to confirm before choosing a course.
Dual enrollment lets a high school student take college courses for college credit, often counted toward high school too. Homeschoolers generally reach it one of two ways: a state program that also serves public-school students and may cover tuition, or direct admission to a college, usually paying tuition themselves. Colleges commonly set a minimum grade level or age, a placement score, and parent consent.
