The High School Programs Department at Pikes Peak State College offers opportunities for high school students to earn college credit while still enrolled in high school through Concurrent Enrollment, in accordance with Colorado state law.

Through Concurrent Enrollment, students enroll in approved Pikes Peak State College courses that may be offered at their high school (Campus Pathways) or on a Pikes Peak State College campus. Participation can help students reduce future college expenses, increase the likelihood of college completion, and begin developing the academic knowledge and marketable skills needed for success in college and the workforce. Credits earned apply toward degrees and certificates at Pikes Peak State College and may be transferable to Colorado public four-year universities, subject to institutional and university policies.

Students work with a designated representative at their high school to determine whether Concurrent Enrollment is appropriate and to identify the option that best aligns with their academic goals and future plans.
