want, for free.
Dual Studies
Our dream
Roane State
Community College
The demand for dual studies
courses continues to grow.
Roane State had 103 dual
studies students in 2004;
five years later, 682.
Dual Studies 101
Changing Lives
Making a Difference
What is dual studies?
Students say Roane
State’s dual studies
program prepared them
to succeed in college.
How will my
contribution help?
Roane State’s dual studies program, called
First Class, allows high school students to
earn college credit and high school credit
at the same time. The courses are taught
at Roane State campuses or at area high
schools.
What are the benefits?
Dual studies students, according to national
statistics, are more likely to go to college
and stay in college. Roane State data shows
that dual studies students are more likely to
keep their scholarships. Plus, taking dual
studies courses helps high school students,
and their families, reduce tuition costs.
What courses are
available?
Roane State’s dual studies offerings include
English, history, psychology, criminal justice,
music appreciation, biology, speech, college
algebra, pre-calculus, health information
technology, first responder and several
others. For more information about dual
studies, visit www.roanestate.edu/
dualstudies.
“I was able to complete my freshman year of
college in my senior year of high school. The
dual studies program helped me accomplish my
goal of becoming a teacher faster than if I had
waited until after graduation. I got to start my
career and provide for my family, which is the
main reason I went to school.”
“Dual studies gave me the confidence that I
could succeed in college, and I could just
concentrate on adjusting. The confidence
makes all the difference in the world because
I was not nervous about the schoolwork and
could just concentrate on finding my way
around UT. I was one step ahead of everybody
else.”

“There are higher expectations and more
essays and papers, which will help me in the
long run.”

The Tennessee dual enrollment grant, funded
by the state lottery, gives students $300 for
one dual studies class a semester. The actual
tuition and fees, however, are close to $400.
Dual studies students also need assistance
with textbook costs.
How big a difference
can I make?
A tremendous difference. With your help,
students can better afford more than one
class a semester. In communities where
students receive assistance with dual studies,
some students complete their freshman year
of college while in high school.
