Concurrent enrollment allows you to take college-level courses in your high school, taught by your high school teachers who are approved by Wichita State faculty to teach those courses. This is the easiest way to earn college credit and allows you to do it alongside your classmates in high school.

Cost

The cost for concurrent enrollment courses with WSU is $149 per course + a one-time, non-refundable $25 application fee. Once you pay this fee, you won't be asked to pay it again.
