Dual Credit

In high school? Earn college credits—today

Are you in high school and want to get a head start on college or take a course not offered at your school? Concordia’s Pre-College program offers honors-level high school students the opportunity to jump start their college career at a much lower cost than as a traditional undergraduate. As part of the Pre-College program, you’ll earn college credits while in high school receiving dynamic instruction from Concordia faculty.

Students who don’t live in Michigan, should use the Concordia University Wisconsin Pre-College webpage.

Students participate in Pre-College coursework through these programs:
