The Edgenics High School Concurrent  Program offers students the opportunity to receive college credits for courses that also count toward satisfying high school graduation requirements.   All students are eligible to be considered for participation in the Edgenics High School Concurrent Credit Institute.   Each applicant will be evaluated  by Edgenics and an admissions officer at the Edgenics University to which the student applies.  Students seeking to participate in the High School Concurrent Credit Institute must have the approval of their school principal and guidance counselor.

Many local high schools participate in a concurrent credit program whereby students are able to receive college credit and also have that credit count for high school work.  Students should check with counselors at their respective schools for information on concurrent credit opportunities.

Program Objectives and Benefits 

Students in secondary schools that have advanced college prep courses will be able to gain significantly by participating in the High School Concurrent Credit Institute.   This program will also be particularly attractive to students in secondary schools that do not offer advanced placement courses or lack certain courses required for college admission.

The High School Concurrent Program offers students an opportunity to get a head start on a college education.   By taking concurrent credit courses while in high school, students can reduce the total elapsed time and the total cost of obtaining a college education.   Students can also be ready to pursue a career sooner.
With educational expenses rising at many colleges and universities, students may wish to take advantage of opportunities to lower these costs.  Students can realize substantial savings by taking advantage of early admissions, concurrent credit, or concurrent enrollment programs offered by the Edgenics High School Concurrent Program.
