Accelerating Students through Concurrent Enrollment
ASCENT (Accelerating Students through Concurrent Enrollment) is a fifth-year high school program where students can take classes at MSU Denver tuition-free. Students can remain in their school district for one year following 12th grade, attend classes at MSU Denver, and the school district will pay for the tuition. Students must have completed, or are on track to complete, nine credit hours of college level classes, meet the minimum MSU Denver course prerequisites, meet their high school’s standards, and be selected by their high school for participation.
The two pathways allow students to understand which classes count toward the different credentials, and to make sure they are on track to meet their educational and professional goals.
Students will learn critical thinking and writing skills, and the ability to think across many disciplines - skills that employers are seeking.
