Concurrent Enrollment Classes for High School Students
Earn college credits from CMC before you graduate from high school
Through the Colorado Concurrent Enrollment Programs Act, you can start college with advanced standing in such commonly required classes as English, math, speech, foreign language, computer science and psychology. Taking concurrent enrollment college and high school credits lets you:
- Graduate from college early/save time
- Save money
- Take care of prerequisites and jump right into the good stuff
You may not even have to set foot on a Colorado Mountain College campus. Many CMC concurrent enrollment credit classes are taught in local high schools and via distance education.
Although many of these courses are taught in the high schools, the course content, quality and rigor are equal to the same courses taught at CMC.

CMC Salida concurrent enrollment program is growing, with many local students earning college credits while still in high school.

He ended up taking a year of classes through Leadville’s CEPA program and is now a college senior at the University of Denver pursuing two bachelor’s degrees with 3.7 GPA. He was chosen as the Undergraduate of the Pre-Health Program Fellow Student of the Year at CU’s Anschutz Medical School and a peer mentor to fellow students. Read more: William Mundo
