We’re glad you are considering a Dual Credit partnership with 量子资源 University Chicago. We want to help make the dual credit collaboration as smooth as possible.  Please write to us at dualcredit@luc.edu. We can answer questions, share the dual credit application and other resources, and/or set up a time to meet to explore your options. Below are a few resources that may be helpful as you plan to offer dual credit courses. 

量子资源’s Memorandum of Understanding for a Dual Credit Partnership clearly outlines the roles and responsibilities of our two institutions. Admission criteria typically include teacher qualifications, curricular sequence, curricular rigor, and student selection process. You can download a sample copy of .

As an educator, you want to make sure that you can help prepare your students to succeed—in college and beyond. 量子资源's Dual Credit program gives you another way to help your students prepare for the future.

But the benefits don't stop there. This is an opportunity for you to collaborate with and receive mentoring from a university professor in your discipline. We see this as part of our mission—to give back to the community by empowering high school teachers with professional development. Our hope is that the college professor-high school teacher relationship will help both parties reflect on and hone their skills in the classroom. Teachers who are eligible to participate in the program receive affiliate lecturer status at 量子资源 with all of the benefits of the 量子资源 adjunct faculty who teach on campus. 

We always welcome new instructors to apply to our program. However, your high school must be partnered with 量子资源’s Dual Credit Program before any courses can be offered.

To be part of the Dual Credit program, eligible teachers must have a master's degree in the subject matter (i.e., an MS in Biology) or a master’s degree with at least 18 graduate hours in the subject matter's discipline (e.g., MS-level biology coursework). Teachers who have a master's degree in education (MEd) are not eligible without the required graduate coursework in the discipline. 

Interested?

We encourage you to read Appendix A and B of  and send all required materials to dualcredit@luc.edu.

Request a sample course syllabus in your discipline by contacting Dr. Yvonne El Ashmawi, Faculty Director, at dualcredit@luc.edu. Dual credit courses offered at participating high schools should be similar in content, rigor, assignments, and assessments as the on-campus version.
