Pre-College/Youth Programs
"Providing the opportunity for high school students to take a class for university credit in a high school setting is just fantastic! They get the best of both worlds! The students are very engaged and love the challenge!"
-- Debbi Warren, Science teacher, South Medford High School
Advanced Southern Credit
The Advanced Southern Credit Program (ASC) consists of university courses taught in the high schools by high school faculty. The high school instructor and course curriculum have been accepted as meeting the standards for university credit by the appropriate academic department and school at Southern Oregon University. The courses are offered as part of the regular high school curriculum; students have the option of registering for Southern Oregon University credit. Credits earned in ASC courses are standard university credits and are transcripted by the SOU Registrar's office.
ASC success is evidenced by a continuing commitment to the program by the university and the high schools, by requests for expansion into a variety of disciplines, by the academic success of students involved in ASC courses, and by a high level of satisfaction expressed by students, faculty and administrators.
