Earn College Credits in High School

High school students can earn low-cost, transferable CSI college credit while completing their high school diploma. Courses may be taken at participating high schools, online, or on a CSI campus. Multiple funding options can reduce or entirely cover the cost of tuition.

Early College is designed to help students get a head start while keeping future college and career options flexible.

How Early College classes work

Early College offers more than one way to earn college credit. Some students take traditional academic courses, often general education classes that transfer easily to CSI or 4-year universities. Other students choose career and technical courses that focus on hands-on skills and job preparation. Both options allow you to earn college credit while still in high school.
