Take Minneapolis College Classes at Your High School

Minneapolis College’s Concurrent Enrollment Program allows High School students to take Minneapolis College courses offered at your own high school during the normal school day.  You become a Minneapolis College student, earning high school and college credit at the same time.

Courses are taught by Minneapolis College-credentialed high school teachers. Our college faculty work with your teachers to ensure the courses are the same as you would take at Minneapolis College. You’ll work with the same curriculum, assignments, and assessment methods as on-campus students.

Course tuition and associated materials are free. Credits earned through the program transfer to Minneapolis College, as well as many other colleges and universities.
