DUALIE PROFILE
ROCKING DUAL ENROLLMENT TC West student riffs on simultaneously attending NMC
Dual enrollment is like a drum roll for college. It’s an apt analogy for Kyle Skarshaug, anyway. As he wraps up his junior year at Traverse City West High School, Kyle is also finishing his second semester dualenrolled at NMC. He’s taken classes as varied as jazz band, applied percussion, biology and introductions to psychology and sociology. “I’m trying to do what I can to make the course load a little less packed in college,” said Skarshaug, 17, who hopes to double major in jazz studies and political science. At West he’s a member of the marching band and the model United Nations and debate teams.
