Dual-credit program

San Juan College offers a dual-credit program to high school students who wish to earn college credits while they are still in high school.^[6] This program serves seven public school districts in Northwestern New Mexico, as well as nearby private and home-schooled students. Public school students do not pay for tuition and supplies (textbooks, etc.) as they are waived by the state. The San Juan College High school program is along the same lines. Districts across San Juan County send up to ten students to attend, where they earn their associates degree along with a high school diploma.
