• Tremendous savings on tuition:

On-campus tuition (including fees) is presently $130.00 per credit hour plus books .  Because of the unique structure of this program, CSU-Pueblo can offer these credits to our students for ONLY $45.00 per credit hour (including all fees and books).  In comparison, CSU students pay $393.90 plus books on campus for the 3 Spanish credits, compared to $130.00 total for Senior-to-Sophomore students.

• Not just for those planning to attend CSU-Pueblo:

The credits will be on a CSU-Pueblo transcript, however, those credits will easily transfer to most universities.  Students should check with the school they plan to attend for credit transfers.  If students enroll in several courses, they could complete enough credit hours to be a sophomore at a university by the time they graduate from high school!

Instructors and counselors at CCHS will let students know what classes are available for university credit.  A CSU-Pueblo representative will visit all STS classes to orient students about the program and distribute registration material.
