Online Courses for High School Students
Explore our dual credit high school courses to save time and money on your future!
Lincoln University has provided concurrent enrollment opportunities for thousands of high school students in the central Missouri area for over ten years. Early college programs are becoming increasingly popular among high school students. Concurrent enrollment benefits students by preparing them for college through providing an opportunity to experience rigorous college-level coursework, saving time by providing a head start on college credit, and making college more affordable.
