Concurrent Enrollment & PSEO Information
Concurrent Enrollment and PSEO - What to Know
Both Concurrent Enrollment and PSEO allow students to earn high school and college credit at the same time. While the structure of each program is different, both can be valuable options depending on a student’s goals, learning style, and schedule.
Concurrent Enrollment courses are taught here at Waseca High School by our own teachers. Because these classes follow our daily schedule, students remain fully integrated into the school community while earning college credit. This can be especially helpful for students who participate in extracurricular activities or appreciate face-to-face instruction. Parents and guardians can also monitor grades and communicate directly with instructors, making it easier to stay connected to a student’s progress.
PSEO courses are offered through colleges, either online or on campus, and are available to students in grades 10–12. While PSEO offers flexibility and exposure to the college environment, it follows the college’s academic calendar and grading systems, and parents/guardians do not have direct access to grades or instructors.

(Note: Always confirm transfer details directly with the college. These resources are simply meant to give a general understanding of how credit are transferred.)
