East Valley Institute of Technology

As a Dual Enrollment student, you have the opportunity to take college classes at your own high school and graduate from high school with enough credits to be well on your way to earning a college degree. Some high school students earn certificates of completion and/or an associate's degree along with their high school diploma!

Benefits include:

  • Affordable tuition - a single credit is 75% less than the cost of in-state universities
  • No textbook fees
  • Tuition assistance for eligible students: Maricopa Grant
  • Course/credit transfers to state universities and many out-of-state schools

Career and Technical Education

Career and Technical Education is about doing, creating and innovating. Students in our programs take what they learn and apply it to something tangible, like building robots or extracting DNA. Every program is hands on, and every program gives students the foundational skills to move forward in a career pathway.

  1. Review the dual enrollment schedule to see which courses are offered for college credit this academic year.
  2. Inquire with your EVIT instructor about opportunities to earn college credit with industry recognized credentials.
  3. Explore key academic course offerings with the counselor at your sending high school. Credit may also be earned for AP and/or IB exam scores. Visit the Maricopa Colleges National Standardized Exams webpage to learn more.
