Concurrent Enrollment Classes for High School Students

Earn college credits with free tuition from CMC before you graduate from high school

Start college now while still in high school and jumpstart your career! Complete commonly required college classes in English, math, speech, foreign language, computer science, and psychology before graduating high school. CMC also offers technical courses such as welding, nurse aide, construction, and automotive.

Earning concurrent college and high school credits helps you:

  • Save money on tuition (tuition is free!)
  • Graduate from college early
  • Complete prerequisite courses that can transfer to another college
  • Explore your academic interests

Concurrent enrollment courses are taught in a variety of ways, from in-person at your high school, to distance education, to your local CMC campus. Although many of these classes are taught in the high schools, the content, quality, and faculty skills are equal to what you'll find on a college campus.

Start Your Application Now

Submit your application online. It's simple and free! Check the eligibility requirements if you're not sure.

Once you've submitted your application, we'll walk you through the following steps...

  • Meet with your high school or CMC counselor to discuss your plans
  • Take placement tests, if required. It's free
  • Sign up for your classes

What about AP Classes?

Unlike AP courses, you don’t have to take a test to determine whether you receive college credit. Concurrent Enrollment allows you to take a real college course and receive college credit based on your grade in the course.
