About the Programs
Since 1858, Hannibal-LaGrange University has maintained a tradition of preparing students for personal and career success. By participating in Early Enrollment or Dual Credit, students emerge from high school with a diploma and the added advantage of university level experience.
Early Enrollment allows students to take classes with college professors on campus at Hannibal-LaGrange University or through several other innovative outlets.
Dual Credit is offered through the high school instructors and works to satisfy the state requirements for secondary education while incorporating college level material, rigor and credit.
