Dual goes digital

MCC has long provided dual-credit courses and online courses, but this semester marks the first time the college has combined the two to offer an online dual-credit course.

As part of a growing partnership with Kearney High School, MCC is testing out this innovative course structure with a pilot English 102 course that began in early January. The course is taught by Jodi Puls, who teaches dual credit at MCC-Maple Woods and full-time at the high school.

Lynn Barron, associate dean of instruction at MCC-Maple Woods, said that more online dual-credit courses are currently being explored.
