Interested in teaching a dual credit course for the University of Idaho?

While academic qualifications vary depending on the discipline—meaning each department sets its own standards for selecting dual credit affiliates—here are a few of the basics:

Interested high school faculty must submit to the dual credit office a curriculum vita and transcripts. These documents will be passed to the appropriate department for review with copies to the college dean.

You may be asked to submit evidence of one or more of the following depending on the discipline:

1. Masters degree in discipline or ME with cognate work in discipline with state secondary certification or
2. State secondary certification plus:
3. Evidence of work towards a masters or MAT or
4. 18 hours additional course work in discipline or
5. Demonstrated outstanding teaching performance as evidenced by 5 years teaching in discipline
6. Successful students who were academically prepared for University of Idaho
7. Success teaching AP (students at University of Idaho who earned 4 and 5 on AP tests)
8. University of Idaho alumni status with positive recommendation of department faculty

In addition, high school faculty members will be required to submit a syllabus. Upon receipt of materials from a teacher or school district, the Dual Credit Office will forward copies to the appropriate college and department for review. A particular college or department may ask for additional information to assess course content and rigor.

Teachers who participate in the University of Idaho Dual Credit Program may be asked to attend workshops and meet with cooperating faculty.
