High school students have the option to earn college credit by enrolling in online and/or face to face courses at the Mequon campus. Courses are offered during the fall, spring and summer terms at a fraction of the traditional undergraduate cost. Students may choose to enroll in a max of 2 courses for the fall and spring term which allows for a jump start to the college experience!
