Running Start Dual Credit Program

Running Start enables high school students to take courses at their schools for dual high school and college credit. By earning college credits while in high school, students get a head start on their college education, can shorten the time to obtain a degree and reduce college costs. Each course taken through Running Start costs $150, a significant savings from the costs of a course taken directly through a college.  Running Start credits have been accepted at more than 200 colleges in recent years, including all seven of NH’s community colleges as well as institutions that include Stanford, Tufts, John Hopkins, the University of Connecticut, Purdue, Ohio State, Penn State, George Washington University, the University System of NH and SNHU, among many others. Managed by Running Start Dual Credit Program and funded by partnering colleges and universities.
