Earn Multiple Credentials at Once: Dual-Credit ADVANTAGE™ Explained

If you’re looking for a smarter, more efficient way to earn your degree, Wilmington University offers a unique path forward with its Dual-Credit ADVANTAGE (DCA) program.

Designed to help students save time and reduce tuition costs, DCA allows you to apply selected courses toward multiple credentials at once — whether that’s pairing a certificate with your degree program or getting a head start on an advanced degree.

What Is Dual-Credit ADVANTAGE?

Dual-Credit ADVANTAGE is an accelerated academic pathway that lets you:

• Apply credits to more than one program simultaneously
• Build a certificate into your degree program as an added credential
• Fast-track your next degree by completing advanced-level courses
• Earn stackable credentials faster

Instead of following a traditional, step-by-step academic path, DCA helps you maximize every course you take — so your time and tuition go further.

Why Students Choose DCA

Students who take advantage of Dual-Credit ADVANTAGE™ can:

• Save an average of one semester
• Reduce costs by $1,170 to $7,500 (depending on their academic path)
• Graduate with multiple credentials that strengthen their resume

It’s a flexible, cost-effective way to accelerate your education without adding extra tuition.
