The Concurrent Enrollment Program is designed to give high school students an opportunity to enroll at SAU prior to high school graduation. Through this program, high school juniors and seniors may enroll in University courses.
Our focus is in providing students with rigorous academic courses, taught by highly qualified instructors, all in the familiar high school environment. Most of the classes offered are from the general education core applicable to any degree a student chooses upon entering a college or university. Credits are transferable to most other accredited colleges and universities in Arkansas.
