PSEO Opportunities at M State

The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program, also known as PSEO, was created in 1985 as a means to "promote rigorous educational pursuits and provide a wider variety of options for students." Through PSEO, Minnesota high school students receive both high school and college credit for college courses they complete.

Students from throughout Minnesota can apply to the PSEO program. Through PSEO, students may take courses on a M State campus, online or, where available, at their high school. PSEO courses offered on site at a high school are called concurrent enrollment courses.


 

PSEO Expectations

Minnesota State Community and Technical College welcomes you as a high school student interested in using the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option! Success in college will depend on how well you adjust to college level classes and accept the responsibilities of being here. All M State PSEO students must complete the application for admission and the agreement of understanding.
