Concurrent Classes Attention High School Students: Get a head start on your college career! Concurrent credit is a great way for high school students to earn both college credit and high school credit simultaneously. Concurrent enrollment is the enrollment of a high school student in post-secondary education for high school credit and college-level credit (1000 and 2000 level courses). This program is designed for students in grades 9th-12th. Students apply for admission to EACC and once admitted, have the opportunity to take full advantage of this unique opportunity to learn. EACC will provide qualified instructors at your school or online, or the school district may provide appropriately credentialed instructors according to the Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) standards. “I have now been taking concurrent college classes for three years. I would definitely say this has helped me so much to shorten the amount of time I will spend in college in the future. When I graduate high school I will also graduate from EACC with my associate’s degee. I am very thankful for the opportunity to start college early.” - Concurrent High School Student
