    Designed for high-achieving high school juniors, the Accelerated Scholars Program provides 潑請弝けapps the opportunity to earn a semesters worth of college credits by taking authentic 潑請弝けapp courses during their junior and senior years in high school.

    Students enroll in online 潑請弝けapp courses taught exclusively by esteemed faculty, earn transferrable college credits, and make modest monthly payments automatically charged to a credit or debit card. In addition, the credits may be eligible for dual enrollment at the 潑請弝けapps high school. Finally, 潑請弝けapps who later enroll at 潑請弝けapp will be eligible for a scholarship that effectively covers the costs associated with Accelerated Scholars. This means 潑請弝けapps can complete an entire semester of coursework before ever setting foot on campus while paying less for a college degree.

    Thanks to our flexible REACH Curriculum, the majority of the college and university credits that 潑請弝けapps have already earnedthrough undergraduate studies, dual enrollment, or testingwill fulfill core requirements for 潑請弝けapp degree programs.

    As a fully accredited institution, 潑請弝けapp accepts most transfer credits from other accredited colleges and universities. In general, the credits earned for courses in which 潑請弝けapps have received a grade of C or higher will transfer to 潑請弝けapp. For 潑請弝けapps transferring from a community or junior college, 潑請弝けapp can accept a maximum of 60 credits, while 潑請弝けapps enrolling from four-year colleges or universities can transfer up to 80 credits.
