OCU University is making it easier for high school students to begin their college journey – especially those planning to enroll at ذكذكتسئµ.
The university has introduced the Star Launch initiative, which provides discounted concurrent college classes to high school students and a tuition credit if they later attend ذكذكتسئµ.
High school students pay just $150 per credit hour – much lower than the standard cost of college classes – and those who enroll at ذكذكتسئµ after high school will receive that cost back as a first-year tuition discount of up to 12 credit hours or roughly four courses.
For high school students considering ذكذكتسئµ, Star Launch provides an early advantage on their college journey, said Adam Ryburn, the university’s interim provost.
“Star Launch offers families a meaningful return on investment,†Ryburn said. “Students benefit from early access to university courses, and if they choose to attend ذكذكتسئµ, the cost of those classes is applied directly to their future tuition.â€
That refund could amount to a tuition discount of up to $1,800, which is stackable with other scholarships or financial aid.
Ryburn noted that concurrent enrollment offers a wide range of benefits.
“Taking college courses while still in high school allows students to ease into the pace and expectations of university-level learning,†he said. “It creates room to pursue double majors or minors later, and it strengthens applications for scholarships.â€
High school juniors and seniors who meet academic eligibility requirements are invited to apply. More information is available at .
