Concurrent Enrollment is a cooperative program between public and higher education in the state of Utah . It is designed to help those high school students who are planning on attending a post secondary education institution. Students in this program are eligible to earn both high school credits as well as credits toward a college degree. Courses offered as part of this program are classes that can be used at Utah State University or at another institution in the state and many out of state institutions.

These courses are the same courses offered on the campus of Utah State University. Courses usually are limited to 1000 level courses but upon occasion a 2000 level course will be offered. Textbooks, testing, attendance, grading and assignments are the equivalent of courses taught at USU and are approved by each department. Some USU faculty teach in this program as well as departmental approved part time faculty. At USU, concurrent enrollment is administered by Continuing Education.

USU delivers concurrent education in a variety of ways. USU uses its own faculty to teach, or classes are offered to a wider audience through the Utah Education Network Satellite system, through EDNET, via online or internet or departmentally approved high school faculty are used to teach at a local high school. 

In order to be eligible to enroll in concurrent education courses at USU students should first meet with their high school counselor. Generally students should be a junior in high school and be in good academic standing. Students should take note that concurrent education generates a college transcript that accompanies then throughout their college career. Because these courses are academically rigorous students should make sure that they are ready to commit to meeting University standards.
