Concurrent Credit allows º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ and Christian high schools to partner together to offer university courses to high school students allowing them to get an early start on their university career at a low cost. The program’s success is based on the partnership between qualified high school instructors and the various academic departments at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. The intent is to offer general education courses which can be applied to any degree a student chooses.
Since º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½’s Concurrent Credit Program began, many students have taken advantage of the opportunity by enrolling in freshman and sophomore-level college courses. The program provides the university an opportunity to play a significant role in the education of top performing students and an opportunity to collaborate with high school instructors. The program encourages campus visits as well as college instructors to participate as guest lecturers in the high school classrooms.
