Early College Academy
The Early College Academy allows high school students to earn college credit via dual credit, concurrent enrollment, and early college credit. High-school students are eligible to take most 10000-level courses and some 20000-level courses.
- Dual Credit Classes meet both high school requirements and the requirements for university credit at Lindenwood. These classes take place in the high school as part of the high school schedule. Dual credit classes are taught by high school teachers that meet credentialing requirements of the university. Participating high schools must have an agreement on file with Lindenwood.
- Concurrent enrollment classes are existing Lindenwood classes that high school students can take, either online or on-campus, in which the high school has also agreed, will count toward high school credit. These classes are taught by Lindenwood faculty and may or may not take place within a student’s high school schedule. Participating high schools must have an agreement on file with Lindenwood.
- Early college credit classes are existing Lindenwood classes that high school students can take, either online or on-campus to earn college credit. These classes do not also count toward high school credit. Because these are existing university classes, they are taught by Lindenwood faculty; students are in the same classes as other Lindenwood students; and these classes are not part of the high school schedule.
Any tuition or fees paid for enrollment in the Early College Academy program are non-refundable.
