College Early

The College Early Program is an opportunity for high school Juniors and Seniors to experience PUC’s academic environment while earning course credit.

**Dual Credit Offered for College Early classes**

Free College Classes

Prep’s special relationship with PUC means that Juniors and Seniors can take one free course for dual credit every quarter (including during the summer). You could potentially take 12+ college classes for free while earning both high school and college credit!
50+ College Classes

There are over 50 classes available to Prep students at PUC, including all lower division classes.
Just $90/credit for a 2nd Class Each Quarter

If a student has a compelling reason for PUC’s Associate Academic Dean to approve registration in additional courses (up to 6 hrs), the College Early tuition rate will apply. The 2020-21 tuition rate for College Early is $90 per quarter hour (about a third of the cost of regular tuition).
