Overview
Mitchell College (Mitchell) has a dual enrollment partnership with New London Public Schools to offer college courses on Mitchell’s campus, to interested and qualified high school juniors and seniors.
Programming and Partnerships
Currently, Mitchell offers a mix of 3-credit general education and introductory major courses: General Psychology; Race, Ethnicity, and Culture; State & Local Government; Introduction to Business; Introduction to Early Education; Contemporary Issues in Education; Introduction to Applied Exercise Science. Students are able to earn Mitchell credits by satisfactorily completing the course.
Mitchell has a partnership with New London Public Schools via a memorandum of agreement.
Student Eligibility
Students are recommended for the program by their high school teachers and guidance counselors. They are reviewed by our Admissions office (as part-time students) and have a dedicated advisor on campus who liaises with the high school.
Instructor Credentials for Concurrent Enrollment Courses
Courses are delivered by Mitchell faculty on the Mitchell campus.
Registration and Fees
Dually enrolled students enter Mitchell through our Admissions Office and are registered as part-time non-degree students.
Because the students take general courses, credits should be transferable to most institutions of higher education, provided the student earned a C or better in the course.
The school system provides transportation for their students to come to campus. Students do not pay to participate in the program.
Supports for Multilingual Families
Mitchell has a faculty member that is multilingual or relies on the student’s high school for support.
