High School Dual Enrollment Program Description
High School Student Qualifications
MJI may provisionally accept a high school student as early as grade 10 if college course enrollment is determined to be an appropriate option for the student. Students may thereby begin Modern Hebrew language studies in grade 10.
MJI will accept any student in grade 11 or 12 that takes at least one course at his or her high school while taking one or more college courses at MJI.
High school juniors and seniors may also qualify under the Michigan Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act for a substantial amount of the tuition to be paid by the local public school district.
Scholarships toward the cost of MJI tuition are available for students who will not receive dual enrollment funding from their public school district.

Transferring MJI Credits
Many colleges and major universities have applied MJI-earned credits toward undergraduate degrees.
All students who successfully complete a course at Michigan Jewish Institute earn MJI undergraduate credit and generate an MJI transcript. When students apply to other colleges or universities, they need to request that their MJI transcript be sent to that institution. The institution a student enrolls in always has the choice of determining which transfer credits it accepts.
