HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The University of Evansville (UE) is expanding its partnerships with area high schools, signing nine dual-credit agreements this week that will create additional opportunities for high school students to earn college credit.
UE says while some of these partnerships build on relationships that have been in place for years, UE continues to look for new opportunities to expand its connections with local schools and provide more pathways for students to begin earning college credit before they graduate from high school.

The agreements include:
- Central High School
- Mater Dei High School
- Memorial High School
- Evansville Christian School
- Castle High School
- Warrick Pathways
- Indiana Digital Learning School
- Northeast Dubois High School
- Southridge High School
Officials note the agreements vary considerably, ranging from a single course to as many as 22 courses. Depending on the partnership, students may be able to earn UE credit for qualifying courses taught at their high school, enroll directly in UE courses or participate in both opportunities.
“Dual credit is about creating opportunity and helping students see themselves as college students before they graduate from high school,” said UE President Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz. “These partnerships strengthen the connection between our schools and our university while giving students a meaningful head start on their college education.”…
