Dual Credit and Concurrent Enrollment
Each year, SVA students successfully complete a range of courses at both CNM and UNM. Dual Credit is a wonderful opportunity for motivated students to take college classes while still in high school. Taking a college class is one of the best ways to learn about what it is really like to be a college student. Why should you consider pursuing Dual Credit? It is an opportunity that provides many benefits by allowing you to:
