Illinois Tech is excited to launch its Elevate College Prep dual-enrollment tracks for fall 2023. High school students can choose to enroll in all courses offered in each track over the course of four semesters, or they can pick and choose to enroll in just a few!
We’re seeking to partner with high schools around the state of Illinois and across the United States to create a pathway for students to explore their interests while earning college credit! All courses are transferable to Illinois Tech and may be transferable to other post-secondary institutions.
Interested in partnering with us? Contact precollege@iit.edu to schedule a call to learn more.
