Available Courses

****Concurrent Enrollment students are limited to fifteen credit hours per semester.**** 
 
All BYU-Idaho classes are opened to high school students if the appropriate prerequisite requirements are met. To see all courses, view our catalog below. 
 
Students should work with high school counselors to ensure that the BYU-Idaho courses they select also meet high school graduation requirements. 
 
******Note:********Idaho Advanced Opportunities funding does not cover tuition for religion or remedial classes, including Math 100 A&B, English 100, 106, 107, 108, and 109. Students are responsible for tuition and other expenses associated with these courses.**

Prerequisites

As you prepare to register, you may find that some of your courses have prerequisites that need to be completed. 
 
Often students get anxious when they see that an ACT or SAT score is required but have not taken either test. Fortunately, BYU-Idaho offers more affordable and convenient alternative exam options that meet the course pre-requisites. These exams are the ALEKS Math Exam and the English Placement Exam.

## Understanding Courses

Your high school counselor should help you navigate which Concurrent Enrollment courses to take. The BYU-Idaho catalog can be accessed online and contains all requirements for courses, degrees, and other general information.

There are typically three kinds of college courses:

General Education Courses

For a college major, your studies are focused on a particular subject or career path. These courses help you progress toward a degree and are good options for Concurrent Enrollment students who know what major they want to pursue or explore.

Required Major Courses

For a college major, your studies are focused on a particular subject or career path. These courses help you progress toward a degree and are good options for Concurrent Enrollment students who know what major they want to pursue or explore.

Elective Courses

Elective credits are a great resource if they help you graduate. But if you have too many elective credits that fall outside graduation requirements, you've wasted time, effort, and money. In fact, some majors don't have room for electives, so none are required to graduate.
