SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Board of Regents says enrollment in its program that allows high school students to earn college credit continues to increase.
The board announced this week that the High School Dual Credit Program saw a 44 percent increase in enrollment between the fall and spring semesters.
The program allows high school students to take college courses at a reduced rate of $40 per credit and earn both college and high school credit. All six public universities and four technical schools in the state participate in the program.
The regents say 1,077 students enrolled in the program when it was introduced last fall. More than 1,200 students enrolled this spring.
Popular courses include General Psychology, Fundamentals of Speech, College Algebra, Composition I and Introduction to Sociology.
