See the accordion below for specific Pathway Partners benefits:
Messiah University works with CVCA to create dual enrollment opportunities during the spring, summer and fall terms to meet the needs of high-achieving CVCA students who want to take college-level courses that can satisfy both high school and college credit. Pathway Partners schools receive a 20% discount off our already competitive dual enrollment rate. Students are eligible for up to seven credits per semester at $120 per credit hour.
For more information contact Matt Reitnour, director of enrollment partnerships at Messiah University.
