Pre-College Services

The Title V STEM-Wave provides a variety of career exploration activities for students in the partnering high schools and at Miami Dade College – Homestead Campus:

Dual-Enrollment

Earn High School and College Credit at the Same Time!

STEM Wave will introduce partner high school students to the MDC-HC Dual enrollment program. The dual enrollment program allows students attending Miami Dade County public schools to enroll in college courses. The credits that students earn at Miami Dade College count toward high school graduation and can also be applied to a college degree or certificate.

What are the Benefits of Dual Enrollment?

It saves you and your parents money because dual enrollment students are exempt from paying tuition, fees, and books
It will take you less time to attain a college degree or certificate because you will get credits that are transferrable to a college or university
