Dual Enrollment Pathways

Build Your Career, One Credit at a Time

UAA offers programs that range from short term certificates to two year and four year degrees. Many programs are "stackable," meaning the credits you earn in high school are the foundation of your future degree. Explore the pathways below to see how your dual enrollment can translate into a certificate or degree at UAA.


How Stacking Works

  1. The High School Start: Take 3–12 credits in a specific field (e.g., Aviation, Health, or Welding).
  2. The First Credential: Complete an Occupational Endorsement Certificate (OEC)—often achievable before or shortly after high school graduation.
  3. The Next Credential: Apply those OEC credits toward an Undergraduate Certificate, Associate, or Bachelor’s degree. You aren't starting over; you're already halfway there!
