Our college partner

A full-service partnership with College of the Canyons.

Method has built a deep, full-service dual enrollment partnership with College of the Canyons (COC), a top California community college. COC offers Method students online sections reserved exclusively for dual enrollment, plus dedicated counseling and a streamlined registration process built around the Method calendar.

Students are not required to take their college courses through COC. Many of our students earn dual credit through other California community colleges or four-year institutions they're already connected to. COC is simply the easiest path because we've done the integration work for you.

A quick note on our name

On the College of the Canyons website, you'll currently see us listed as "The Academy at Method Schools." We're rebranding to Method Dual Enrollment — and with the launch of this site, that name becomes official. Same program, same partnership, new name.

What the COC partnership includes

  • Online courses reserved for Method dual enrollment students only
  • Dedicated COC counseling and registration support
  • Course schedules aligned to Method's academic calendar
  • Direct credit articulation with UC and CSU systems
