PSEO
PSEO is a program that allows 10-12th grade high school students to take college courses while in high school . Most classes are taken on the campus of a college, however some colleges also offer online opportunities. All students must meet certain qualifications in order to participate and having good grades is key to this opportunity.
For more information, visit the MN Department of Education website.
