Earning college credits when in high school allows a student to get ahead in their major or to  learn about something they enjoy.  A student does not need to attend that college for their selected major, because the credits are transferable. Not every college will accept the credits, but most colleges do accept the transfers. To take any of the eligible courses, a student just needs to talk to their guidance counselor for verification.
