Dual Enrollment
Blue Mountain Academy allows diligent students to earn both high school and college credits (dual enrollment) simultaneously while attending BMA. The dual enrollment credits offered at BMA are General Education courses most colleges and universities require. College credits are granted through Kettering College, Reading Area Community College (RACC), and Washington Adventist University (WAU) and are transferable to most colleges and universities.
Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 to enter an advanced/dual enrollment or honors course. They must maintain a B- (80%) or better at the end of the first semester to remain in the course, or have permission from Academic Standards Committee.
Enroll by the following deadlines:
Fall: Sept 5 (drop date Sept 11)
Spring: Dec 14 (drop date January 8)
