Early College

The College of Southern Idaho (CSI) has collaborated with high schools throughout Idaho to provide CSI courses within high school classrooms, enabling students to earn CSI credit. Students also have the opportunity to take courses directly from the College of Southern Idaho, by stepping foot on campus or taking courses online. Courses are official CSI courses, taught by the high school’s own teachers, who have been approved by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). This (enables) students to earn both high school and college credit in select courses. Each year, more than 100 high schools in Idaho participate in CSI’s Early College dual credit program.
