High School Concurrent Enrollment Program
Through the High School Concurrent Enrollment Program, qualified students in participating high schools can earn college credit at UA Little Rock while attending high school. Students take UA Little Rock courses that are taught on their high school campus and count for both high school and University credits.
High school students must meet the following requirements:
- Minimum high school GPA of 2.5, and
- Achieve a minimum composite score of 19 on the ACT or 1010 SAT total score or ACCUPLACER reading 253 (must have at least on full test with all sections taken)
First-semester 9th Grade Students:
- Must have required test scores (see above) but the high school transcript is not yet required (because no high school credit has been earned).
- In order for 9th grade students to continue enrollment after their first semester of 9th grade, they MUST submit their transcript showing grades from first semester and have the required 2.50 high school GPA.
