College On Campus

Concordia Academy offers more than 100 college credits taught live on-campus. Instead of commuting throughout the Twin Cities, students can remain on campus and take real college classes taught by college professors, thanks to a unique partnership with Concordia University-St Paul (CSP).

Students who take our college classes receive credit from both Concordia Academy and Concordia University. Upon completion of a college class, students receive a college transcript from Concordia University. This transcript can be transferred to any university that accepts college transfer credits.

CA’s on-campus college classes differ from both AP (Advanced Placement) classes and off-campus PSEO classes. In AP classes, students do college level work but only receive college credit if they pass a single test given at the end of the class. In Concordia Academy’s college classes, students are given multiple assessments throughout the learning experience. Unlike off-campus PSEO classes, students do not have to leave the high school campus during the day, and classes are taken with fellow high-school students. In addition, these are live on-site classes, not online classes.

Junior and senior students with a minimum of a 3.25 GPA are eligible for college classes.

Listed below are some of the college courses that have been offered on CA’s campus over the last few years.
