Challenge yourself academically and lower your overall cost for college with Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO).

 

Advantages

  • More than 90% of students who transferred their credits from Minneapolis College’s PSEO program had their credits accepted at other postsecondary institutions, including Minnesota State colleges, private colleges and out-of-state universities.
  • High school students are more likely to attend college if they have participated in a dual-enrollment program like PSEO 
  • The credits students take in concurrent enrollment gives them a head start on their college career
  • PSEO offers convenient course scheduling

"PSEO has taught me numerous skills, such as how to manage my time given that I was taking a full-time college course load alongside my extensive list of extracurriculars. PSEO gave me the opportunity to learn the necessary work/life balance to succeed."

— Rahma Farah, Minneapolis high school senior and full-time PSEO student

 

Apply as a PSEO Student

The Post-Secondary Educational Options (PSEO) program is a state program for high school and home-schooled juniors and seniors, which offers the opportunity to enroll in and attend college-level courses and apply earned credits toward high school graduation requirements and a college degree. 

The PSEO program pays for your tuition and textbooks for college-level courses (numbered 1000 level or higher) taken for high school and college credit. See below for eligibility requirements.

If you have been a PSEO student at Minneapolis College and you are graduating from high school, apply as a returning student instead of following the application steps on this page.

If you want to take classes in the summer, are from out-of-state or missed the application deadlines, you may apply for Minneapolis College’s High School Non-PSEO Program.
