High School Programs at Pikes Peak State College

The High School Programs Office at Pikes Peak State College partners with high schools across the Front Range of Colorado to support students in earning college credit before graduating from high school.
 
Through these opportunities, students may take college-level courses at their high school or on a Pikes Peak State College campus, allowing them to begin exploring academic and career interests while still enrolled in high school.  

Students work closely with a designated representative at their high school to determine which option is the best fit based on their academic goals and future plans.

Articulation

Articulation allows students to earn college credit for approved high school courses taken at the high school and aligned with the high school calendar and bell schedule. Students who earn an A or B in a designated course may receive corresponding Pikes Peak State College credit when the course aligns with college-level learning outcomes through an established Articulation Agreement.
