Scope: Iona University will provide dual enrollment credits to the Smart Scholars students at Roosevelt High School Early College Studies. This program allows these students to begin their college careers while still in high school. The courses offered are at the college level and can be transferred directly to Iona University as well as many other colleges and universities. This coursework not only prepares students for college-level work but also saves them time and money towards their college degrees. Additionally, it helps prepare them for the successful completion of any associated Regents exams. |
