The IOU Youth Dual Credit program enables high school students to earn university credits before graduating from high school, making their transition to the university campus smoother and their likelihood of graduating from high school even greater.
International Open University recognizes the needs and challenges of our young Muslim generation. Through education, IOU hopes to instill authentic Islamic principles in the Muslim youth and strengthen their Islamic personality so they may be successful in this world and the next.
International Open University seeks to engage and develop the minds of youth in order to equip them with the necessary knowledge in different fields of their interest. Therefore, the Youth Dual Credit Program (YDCP) or "Jump Start" program aims to provide an avenue for high school students to begin to study university level courses in their preferred field of undergraduate studies.
The credits earned through this program would be counted as university credits once the students complete their high school graduation side by side the studies in YDCP / Jump Start program. Prior to that, credits earned in the YDCP Associate Degree program would not be considered as university credits. Upon graduation from High School, the students may pursue their studies further into second, third and fourth year in order to complete their bachelors degree in their chosen field of study.
Therefore, the Youth Dual Credit Program (YDCP) / Jump Start program gives youth the opportunity to enroll in courses at the International Open University for educational enrichment. This is a unique opportunity for young students in senior years of high school to experience university courses, enhance their educational experience, and prepare for their academic life at the university. Upon successful completion of the program as well as their high school completion, the graduates of YDCP will be granted an Associate degree.
Hence, taking courses at the International Open University whilst still at school enables students to accelerate their university career and simultaneously earn an Associate degree.
