Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options is a program that allows eligible students in 10th, 11th and 12th grades to earn college credit while still in high school.  Students generate both college credit and high school credit by successful completion of the course.  Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Each participating college or university sets its own admissions requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses.
