A community college in Montana is putting a new spin on dual enrollment by providing free one-credit course offerings to local high school students, with content aimed at preparing them for life after graduation. Miles Community College is a small, rural institution located about a mile off Interstate 94 in eastern Montana. It’s the only college in a 70-mile radius, enrolling around 500 students each term, around 43 percent of them dual-enrollment high schoolers. Most high school students in this rural community don’t think they need college, explains President Ron Slinger, because their families have never gone to college and they plan to work on the ranch after they graduate.
