COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN NEVADA
Programs for High School Students

CSN offers a number of special programs for qualified high school students. For some of the programs, high school students earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. High school students should check with their school counselors regarding completion of Dual Enrollment High School Authorization forms necessary for enrollment in some programs. Unless students are 18 years old, parental permission is required for all programs. Many of the programs require that students pay college tuition. Special programs for high school students include:
