BERGEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM A Dual-Enrollment Opportunity for RDHS Students
Introduction River Dell High School has partnered with Bergen Community College to offer a comprehensive Dual Enrollment Program for RDHS students to earn college credit by taking the courses they would already enroll in at RD. These courses are taught by our teachers, who meet college-level educational standards. This opportunity is available to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors who have demonstrated academic readiness and received the recommendation of their counselor, school administrator, and parents.
Benefits ◦ The ability to earn college credits, while simultaneously fulfilling high school requirements ◦ BCC credits are generally transferable to most NJ state colleges/universities and many private/out-of-state institutions ◦ BCC courses are offered at a significantly reduced rate of tuition, causing a potentially substantial financial savings in college costs
