Concurrent Enrollment Classes for High School Students

Earn college credits for free 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 (classes are 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.

What about AP Classes?

Unlike AP courses, concurrent enrollment classes give you college credits that jumpstart your college career. And your school district pays tuition! Stay at CMC and earn a degree, or transfer to another college or university.

“CMC gave me the opportunity to turn things around, to think about what I want to do in the future.”

William Mundo was a high school student considering dropping out of school in 2011. A counselor from CMC’s Upward Bound program reached out, and William ended up taking a year of classes through Leadville’s CEPA program.

William is a 2022 graduate from the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He also earned a bachelor of science in public health and a bachelor of arts in ethnic studies from the University of Colorado Denver. Shortly after his undergraduate studies, he also received a master’s degree from the Colorado School of Public Health. He recently published a book, From Margins to Medicine: A First-Generation Student Health Equity Guide on Overcoming Adversity with Diversity.
