Concurrent and Dual Enrollment

On average, Warren Tech students earn over 13,000 college credits, through the following partners: Red Rocks Community College (RRCC), Front Range Community College (FRCC), and Metropolitan State University (MSU).

That's roughly two million dollars in free college tuition.

Warren Tech students earn more college credits than any other school in Jeffco. Earning college credits at Warren Tech includes concurrent and dual enrollment options. Here is the difference between the two options. 

Concurrent Enrollment (CE) programs are available in 29 of our programs where students earn tuition-free college credits while still in high school.

Dual Enrollment (DE) programs are available in 2 of our programs where students earn college credits at a reduced tuition rate.
