Yes! Although college admissions officers are most impressed by AP^® courses, here are a few other college prep options for high school:

• College-Level Examination Program^® (CLEP) The College Board offers CLEP exams as a way to earn college credit without taking a college course. CLEP exams are offered year-round at official test centers. Colleges can choose to award credit for CLEP exam scores that exceed a chosen threshold. Not all colleges award credit for CLEP exam scores.
• Dual Credit Dual credit courses are high school courses which count for college credit. The credits are awarded by specific colleges which have approved the curriculum. Credits earned through a college’s dual credit program may or may not be accepted by other colleges. HSLDA Online Academy’s Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry (with certain instructors) and AP Calculus AB courses are approved for dual credit with Colorado Christian University.
• Dual Enrollment Dual enrollment courses are college courses taken by high school students. These courses are designed by colleges and taught by college professors. Although college admissions officers prefer to see AP courses on high school transcripts, dual enrollment courses are more impressive than CLEP exam scores and dual credit courses.
