What is the College Achievement Program?
The College Achievement Program (CAP) is a cooperative program between the University of Southern Indiana and participating high schools. CAP allows highly motivated high school junior and senior students to take regular college courses in their own high schools at a reduced rate of tuition.
The College Achievement Program is designed to:
CAP courses are taught by carefully selected high school faculty who are held to the same requirements as departmental adjunct faculty. The minimum requirement for any CAP instructor is a master's degree with concentration of graduate hours in the subject area and at least three years teaching in the subject area, preferably with at least one year's experience teaching an advanced course in the subject area.
Concurrent Credit just got a lot more affordable thanks to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. Several CAP courses made the Commission's list of Dual Credit Priority Liberal Arts & Career Technical Educational courses. Under the authority granted to the Indiana CHE, the rate charged to Indiana students for the identified Dual Credit Priority Liberal Arts & Career and Technical Educational courses shall not exceed $25 per credit hour.
Not all CAP courses are part of the CHE's Dual Credit Priority Liberal Arts & Career & Technical Educational course lists. Our course crosswalk is a helpful guide for potential CAP students and their parents.
