Dual Enrollment
Post Secondary Education opportunities
PSEO is a program that allows 10-12th grade high school students to take college courses while in high school . Most classes are taken on the campus of a college, however some colleges also offer online opportunities. All students must meet certain qualifications in order to participate and having good grades is key to this opportunity.
As a 10th grader you can only take 1 CTE class 1st semester and then if you do well, you can take 2 college classes not restricted to CTE 2nd semester. Click HERE for more information. Please review the eligibility requirements HERE!
As a 11th and 12th grader you are not restricted to certain classes, please keep reading for more information! Please review eligibility requirements for NHCC HERE and UMN HERE!
