COLLEGE IN HIGH SCHOOL INTRODUCTION

The College in High School Program (CIHS) is an enrichment partnership between SUNY Cobleskill and area secondary schools. Seniors (or juniors with advanced standing) are able to earn college credit at reduced tuition while concurrently attending high school. Courses are college-level experiences taught by qualified high school faculty (as adjunct professors at SUNY) during the regular school day and following the regular high school academic calendar within the high school setting.

Initiated in 1993, the College in High School Program has expanded to include over 20 course offerings within ten secondary schools in the rural Schoharie County area.

Students participating in this program register with SUNY Cobleskill at their respective high schools at a reduced rate of $50.00 per credit hour ($100 for a two-credit course; $150 for three credits and $200 for four credits). Consideration will be given by the college for any student demonstrating financial hardship (as verified by the high school guidance department). Successful completion of the course requirements entitles the student to receive college credit from SUNY Cobleskill. Credits obtained through this program may be eligible for transfer to SUNY Cobleskill or to other colleges and universities.

This program enables high school students to experience college-level rigor while concurrently offering them an academic challenge during their senior year.
