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 one of our campuses, online through our eCampus or, where available, at their high school. PSEO courses offered on-site at a high school are called concurrent enrollment courses.


 

PSEO Expectations

We welcome 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 a college student. All M State campus PSEO students must complete the application for admission and the PSEO agreement of understanding.

Perkins Vocational Career and Technical Education Act

The College partners with Lakes Country Service Cooperative and various education, business and community entities to meet the objectives of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. The purpose of the Act is to improve career and technical education and to create opportunities for individuals to enter high-skill, high-wage and high-demand employment in Minnesota. The Act places special emphasis on improving access and services for special student populations as defined by the law. These special populations include:

  • Individuals with disabilities
  • Individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including foster children
  • Individuals preparing for non-traditional fields
  • Single parents, including single pregnant women
  • Displaced homemakers
  • Individuals with limited English proficiency

Preparation for non-traditional fields receives special emphasis in the Act. A non-traditional field is defined as a high-skill career field for which students from one gender comprise fewer than 25 percent of the students enrolled in the field. Examples at the College include women in construction electricity or men in dental hygiene. The College encourages students to consider non-traditional fields, and we welcome questions and inquiries from all students and members of the public. For more information about non-traditional fields, please contact the enrollment manager at any campus. For eCampus programs, contact the dean of enrollment management for the College at (218) 736-1528.
