Advising for Dual-Credit Students

Thomas More is committed to making sure that high school students who are enrolled or thinking about enrolling in our dual-credit program are taking courses that are best suited to the needs of the student. 

Are you looking to take a general education (core) course?

Students who are just starting out in dual credit or looking to get some required, widely transferrable general education courses out of the way are recommended to start out with some Thomas More Core courses. These will be required for any TMU degree.

Are you curious about exploring a particular major?

We’ve partnered with campus departments to develop Dual-Credit pathways. Students interested in exploring one of these areas may wish to enroll in a pathway to get up to 12 hours toward a major completed, depending on the pathway. Please click on a pathway below to read more about the pathway, pre-requisites, and courses.


Are you planning to take a course online or on campus?

Here are some suggestions to get you started:
