In conjunction with Southwestern Adventist University, Ozark Adventist Academy is pleased to offer several dual credit courses for seniors. In these courses, students receive college credit from Southwestern Adventist University as well as academic credit toward their high school diploma from Ozark Adventist Academy. The fee for these classes is $175 per class plus textbooks.
The first semester of their twelth grade year, students can choose between a traditional English IV class, which awards secondary academic credit only, or a dual credit English Composition class (ENG121). Markie Bazzy, an English teacher at Ozark Adventist Academy, has several Master's Degrees, and in collaboration with SWAU staff, teaches the dual credit composition class during the fall semester. During the spring semester, no dual credit English option is available and twelth grade students will need to enroll in the second semester of English IV.
The dual credit mathmatics classes offered every year are not always identical. Previously, College Algebra (MATH110), Mathmatics in Society (MATH115), and Introduction to Probability and Statistics (MATH141) have been offered to Ozark students. There is a dual credit math option for senior OAA students during the fall and spring semesters.
OAA's dual credit math classes are taught virtually by a SWAU professor on Southwestern's campus. Just like other OAA classes, students have a scheduled class time. They meet in Ozark Adventist Academy's Library, and through streaming technology, Ozark students can see, hear, and interact with the SWAU professor teaching the class. There are two large, flat-screen TV's on the front wall in the library specifically for the dual credit classes. Students can raise their hands and ask questions just as in a traditional class. The difference is the teacher is on a large TV screen and not physically standing in front of the class.

We are currently working with the mathematics department at SWAU to determine the spring semester 2023 dual credit mathmatics option.
