Lewis and Clark Community College offers dual enrollment programs with other colleges like Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Greenville College and Missouri Baptist University.

With dual enrollment, L&C students can take courses at any of the colleges that are affiliated with Lewis and Clark to earn credit toward degrees at both institutions.

Students who are planning to attend SIUE have their $35 application fees waived. Dual enrollment gives students a chance to speak to an SIUE adviser, Dave Shifflett, who has an office on Lewis and Clark’s campus.

“Our Dual Admission program provides a seamless transfer process for Lewis and Clark students who earn an A.S. or A.A. degree to transfer to SIUE,” Shifflett said.

SIUC is also connected with the dual enrollment program at L&C. Plus if you are enlisted in dual enrollment and are going to SIUC, their tuition stays the same as the current rate at the time of enrollment even if the tuition goes up. They also have an adviser, Amanda Sutton.
