Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)

PSEO (Post Secondary Enrollment Options) is a program developed by the Minnesota Legislature to promote "rigorous academic pursuits" and to provide a broader range of course options to high school students. High school students are able to enroll full or part-time in college courses or programs. Tuition and course required textbooks are at no cost to PSEO students.
