Today, high schools can offer a variety of online college courses to high school students by partnering with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Advanced Scholars program. Students get a university experience, preparing them for the transition from high school to college.
- Advanced Scholars courses meet UNL general education requirements.
- UNL faculty teach Advanced Scholars courses. High schools do not provide teachers.
- Courses are actual college courses students normally take as college freshmen.
- Students experience college-level coursework and interact with college professors and students.
- There’s no one-time exam that determines how many credit hours students earn.
- The course, number of credit hours and course grade appear on the student’s college transcript.
- Credit hours can transfer to other institutions.
- Advanced Scholars staff communicates with high school administrators about students’ progress.
