High School Students

So you're in high school and you're thinking, "Why can't my work now count for college?" Our answer is a resounding, "It can!"

Most of the first two years of college are a review of the 4 years a student spends in high school, so we work with our high school students to help them get college credit for the high school work they are doing. Why wait four years when you can start your degree right now? Listen to this video to discover more.

Life Purpose Planning

If you’re excited about getting your college degree, but are overwhelmed by all the choices out there, we want to let you know you’re not weird, you’re normal. This is why we dedicate the first phase of CollegePlus! to guiding you step-by-step through the Life Purpose Planning program as part of your coaching experience. The goal is to help you see where God has given you specific gifts and talents that would work best to help you reach your goals or particular career. With this information, we can then make an educated recommendation to you regarding which degree would be best suited to help you reach your life goals. It’s been our experience that students prefer to choose from two or three degrees as opposed to fifty—it works to reduce stress and individualize the program all at the same time.

Dual Credit

You like the idea of combining college with your high school studies, but aren’t quite sure how it works. Let’s see if we can explain it for you.

The easiest way to combine credits would be to take a normal high school course (Biology, US History, English Literature, etc.), and when you have finished it, study a bit further on the college level and take the appropriate exam. In this way, the work you do during the course will count for your high school credit and the credit you earn by passing the exam will count for college credit.

Another alternative would be to study similar subjects—one for high school and one for CLEP study (high school Biology and CLEP Natural Sciences, high school World History and CLEP Western Civilizations I, etc.). Using this method we can work around your current curriculum and schedule while helping you study for CLEP tests using complementary subjects.

Some students even replace some or all high school with college work. In such cases, they focus entirely on their CLEP studies; reviewing material they have already covered and learning new material as necessary. This approach normally works best with students who have already completed a portion of their high school work, enabling them to quickly grasp much of the needed material.

There are several ways to do it, and we work with all of them. If you’re interested in graduating early, you have come to the right place!

Degree Information

CollegePlus! offers a host of degree options. However, for our younger learners who may not have their future fully in view, we normally recommend a BSBA in General Management or a BA in Communications. These degrees have broad application, both in the business world and beyond, offering maximum flexibility to those who don’t know which degree to pursue. These two degrees leave a student’s options wide open and prepare them for nearly every type of business or ministry imaginable. Remember, they can always go on to master in a more focused field later on. Find out more about Choosing Your Major on our website.
