Benefits for StudentsOver the years, we have heard from many Concurrent Enrollment students who have referred to their participation in Concurrent Enrollment as “a smart move.” Here are just a few reasons why!
Based on a recent survey of Concurrent Enrollment students, anyone who wanted to transfer their credits to a college or university, were able to do so successfully.
Competition in college admissions means that admissions officers now look for evidence of rigorous course work on high school transcripts.
Completing college requirements in high school gives you greater flexibility as a full-time college student. Many Concurrent Enrollment alums find they are able to pursue second majors, or participate in study abroad opportunities and/or internships.
The critical thinking, writing, and reading skills developed in Concurrent Enrollment courses will prepare you for success in college.
College courses typically assess your learning through several means such as examinations, papers and lab reports. Minnesota State Mankato courses administered through Concurrent Enrollment will assess your learning in this manner, too. You will not be faced with a single, highstakes test, which is present in Advance Placement (AP) courses.
Concurrent Enrollment tuition is paid by your high school. Additional savings can be realized when recognition of Concurrent Enrollment credits allows you to graduate early from college.
We agree with our students! Concurrent Enrollment is indeed "A SMART MOVE"!!
