001hello everyone and welcome to Stockton University we are going to chat a little bit about our dual credit offerings here at Stockton as well as just some general information about Stockton University so let's get started some general info we are located in Galloway New Jersey so we are located on 1600 Acres of the Pinelands National Reserve we are home to over 9 000 undergraduate and graduate students I like to say that we're a medium school with a small size Feel Again keeping those classes small about a 17 to 1 student faculty ratio what you're seeing here is again that Galloway campus it is beautiful and it is what a lot of folks think of when they think of Stockton so come on down and visit if you haven't already and discover all that Stockton has
002to offer we also do have another campus over in Atlantic City and this is what all the hype has been about recently everything you're seeing here was just built in 2018 so we have our residential hall and our academic building there right over right steps away from the Boardwalk from the beach from the ocean and we do have another residence hall that will be opening up in Fall of 2023 so some really exciting things happening over in AC for our students I did just want to go over our different schools here at Stockton we have over 160 different areas of study that's including Majors minors certificates some excellent dual degree programs for students to start their undergraduate and even go into pursue a master's degree as well so lots of different options I did just
003want to put all of our different schools up there if you head on over to our website stockton.edu you can see all of the different areas that students have to study Within These different schools again many different areas from business to Education Health Sciences I mean and everything in between so certainly go ahead and check out all of those different areas because chances are if you're interested in it we most likely have it here at Stockton but without any further Ado I did just want to get into some benefits of earning dual credit through Stockton University and really just dual credit um in a nutshell so you can earn college credits while you are still in high school again doing so really allows students to enhance their skills to be successful at the Collegiate level
004um so I think time management critical thinking problem solving study skills communication creativity and following directions you can challenge Yourself by again taking those accelerated college level courses that demand your highest level of performance while getting confidence that you are prepared for college because again you are starting that while you were even in high school and of course probably the biggest benefit that a lot of folks think of is saving time and money by entering college with completed credits and possibly even shortening the time it takes to graduate here at Stockton we are very generous in our transfer credit um even for our first year students so folks that are coming out of high school we do take up to 64 credits and that can be a mix of these dual credit courses and even
005some AP courses that you may be taking so again just a few of the the real benefits of being a dual credit student another huge kind of perk of being a dual credit student is the cost in transferring of credit so student participating in a dual credit program will received a reduced tuition rate and that's about a hundred dollars per credit we are on a four credit based system here at Stockton so that's about 400 dollars per course here at Stockton with all additional fees waive and just to kind of compare that a normal four credit course here at Stockton is usually over two thousand dollars so you are saving so so much by getting that done while you are in high school now if you're a student coming from a family and you've received
006free or reduced lunch you can actually earn dual credit for free so again even better than that 400 if you are participating in free or reduced lunch you can earn your dual credit with stocked in for free and then just a little bit about transferring credits I know our our students are always looking to go ahead and kind of see how well what I'm doing now really benefit me in the future there are two really great resources that I just wanted to point out there is New Jersey Transfer that's ndatransfer.org where you can plug in your credits um this is really within the New Jersey school system so think to your schools four-year schools kind of all coming together on one website where you can see how what you're doing will go ahead and benefit
007you so you can plug in any coursework there we also have something here at Stockton so if you're taking dual credits in high school and you know that Stockton is your goal that you are looking to go here for your for your degree you can go over to stockton.edu transfer and check out our degree Works platform you can actually plug in what major you're interested in and plug in any dual credit or AP coursework that you've completed to see how it will plug into your degree so again really transparent in our transfer processes for our transfer students of course but also for our first year students earning dual credit so steps to becoming a dual credit student it really is this easy check it with your high school to find out which courses are a
008part of the Stockton dual credit program um and ask them how to sign up so if those courses are not been worked into your schedule um see the opportunities to possibly do so two you can complete the online dual credit application and I will give you some further resources on that in just a moment you will register for your stocks and dual credit courses by November 1st and if applicable make your payment for those dual credit courses so this is kind of our step-by-step play by apply to becoming a Stockton dual credit student and any questions about dual credit you can actually head over and contact Sean Manuela she is our administrator who takes care of all of our dual credit students here at Stockton we do have her email up there as well as
009our dual credit website where you can see exactly again how to apply how to become a part of this dual credit program while you are in high school and I did just want to throw out a few different opportunities that we have exclusively for our dual credit students if you are a senior completing some dual credit courses we will be sure to invite you to our sneak peek Stockton week this is something we just kicked off last year but it actually gives you the opportunity again if you're a senior to come to Stockton and sit in a real Stockton class so you really get a feel for the students maybe even the area that you're looking to study so that's a really exclusive program again just for our dual credit students as well as our
