Early College

Early College at the College of Southern Idaho lets high school students earn real college credit so they can save money and time toward a degree. Often these college-level classes are offered right at their own high school, in the same classes that they're already taking.

Where you can take classes

  • At Your High School – Take approved dual credit courses with your HS teacher.
  • At CSI or Online – Enroll in CSI classes on campus or online with CSI instructors.

How your class credits apply to college

Dual credit courses can count toward both high school graduation and college credit. Many courses fulfill general education requirements and tranfer to other colleges.

What it costs

Dual credit is $75 per credit - much cheaper than what you'll pay after you graduate high school. Many students use Idaho's Advanced Opportunities funds to cover some or all tuition. Books/fees may apply for some classes.
