The in-person Open House will take place from 4 – 6 p.m. Thursday, April 17, in Room 2E28 of the Memorial Student Center. This event is specifically designed for local high school students who are interested in taking courses on Marshall’s campus for the first time.

Marshall’s Herd Academy offers dual enrollment programs, online courses and on-campus classes to help high school students jump-start their college education. These opportunities allow students to gain valuable experience, earn college credits and ease the transition to higher education.
“We are thrilled to provide local high school students with the opportunity to take courses not only online and in their high schools, but also on our campus,” said Jessica Jordan, dual enrollment coordinator at Marshall. “We realize the idea of coming to Marshall’s campus for class and navigating campus life may be intimidating for some students, so we hope this open house will ease any hesitation students have. In addition, we provide online courses for students who are at a distance or unable to come to campus, so the options are endless for students who want to get a head start on college credits. Please join us to learn more!”
