What is the University of Arizona College Forward - OESIS Dual Enrollment Collaboration?
This is a high school to college dual enrollment collaboration with the University of Arizona through its College Forward initiative. The University is ranked in the top 50 Public Colleges, and the top 10 Online BA providers by the U.S. News & World Report.
Each course is typically completed over one semester and is selected carefully so students can get a head start in pursuing their passions and developing their purpose. This will also help them in building their college admissions profile by proving commitment, rigor and interests. Students from OESIS Network schools will be placed together in class sections of 15-20 to the greatest degree possible, and OESIS will manage the process from enrollment to transcript generation by the college partner. OESIS Dual Enrollment collaborations provide ways for schools to expand what they offer, beyond what is typically available on a single campus. The OESIS Dual Enrollment course catalog will be available to be included in whole or in part (on a course by course basis) in the Course of Study of the member school.

How have you chosen the Courses?
Here are the key characteristics behind the selection of the courses detailed further below:
- Courses delivered by the top Colleges who offer online BA programs. We look for online courses that are often equivalent to in-person classes, that have low-class sizes of 15-20 per section, from Colleges that have made significant investment in digital resources and from Colleges that have a large qualified faculty base.
- College Courses that are Purpose & Passion-driven. We look for courses that are relevant to high school students, and can demonstrate to Colleges that the student is interested in the domain to help burnish admission credentials.
- College Courses that are Interdisciplinary & Project Based. We look for outcomes for students that include cross-curricular competencies like Collaboration, Critical Thinking & Communication.
- Equitable College Courses with Low Pre-Requisites. We look particularly for courses that can be taken by high school students at many grade levels without a sequential burden of requirements.
- High Transfer Capacity to other Colleges. We look for courses with widely accepted transfer credit articulation agreements with other Colleges so that the credits are really portable.
- Asynchronous, Collaborative & Challenging. We look for courses that offer flexibility with engagement and participation including teacher availability and feedback.
- College Courses that are appealing to College Freshman & Sophomores.
- College Courses that provide Early Pathways to Majors.
- College Courses that can form the basis for a High School Sub Diploma In Inter-disciplinary Studies.
