Concurrent Enrollment

Earn College Credit at CRC Before Graduating High School

Through the Arkansas Concurrent Enrollment Program, high school students can enroll in college-level courses and earn credit toward a high school diploma at the same time they earn college credit.

– Graduate college earlier

– Reduce your potential debt load and save money

– Focus on your major and minor courses earlier
