356 Major Program Areas Programs for High School Students Concurrent Enrollment Weber State University academic departments approve qualifications and curriculum of teachers at high school or applied technology centers. Students in these classes can earn high school and college credits at the same time. Concurrent Enrollment credits/grades become part of the student's permanent WSU transcript. Early College Program Early College allows students to fulfill both high school and university graduation requirements at the same time by attending classes at the university while they are still in high school. University faculty teach classes, and the credits/grades from the Early College program become part of the student's permanent WSU transcript. Students are responsible for the university tuition and fees, and Utah colleges and most out-of-state and private universities will accept Early College credits.
