College in the High School

Jump Start Your Undergraduate College Degree 

Eligible high school students can start earning college credits towards a degree while completing their high school coursework. Wilson College’s College in the High School Program offers a convenient way to work on a college degree at an affordable cost.

Sophomore, junior, and senior-level Advanced Placement (AP) students who are currently enrolled at a partner high school can take Wilson College courses at their home high school and earn college credits, all at a flat fee less than Wilson’s traditional part-time tuition rate. 

Credits earned can be applied to Wilson College undergraduate degree requirements or may be transferred to another college or university of the student’s choice, depending upon that institution’s admission policies
