What's the Difference Between Our College Credit and Enrichment Courses?

Both enrichment and college credit–bearing options feature engaging online lessons and instructional support. College credit–bearing courses include additional coursework and offer the opportunity to earn academic credit upon successful completion. Some course content overlaps across both options, so students are encouraged to choose the format that best aligns with their academic or professional goals.

  • Subject-matter expertise relevant to your course and field of interest.
