Post-Secondary Enrollment OptionsWhat is the PSEO program?The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program, also known as PSEO, was created in 1985 as a means to "promote rigorous educational pursuits and provide a wider variety of options for students." Through PSEO, high school students receive both high school and college/university credit for college or university courses that are completed. The program is available to students throughout the state, and students from nearly every Minnesota public high school earn credits through PSEO from programs at Minnesota state colleges and universities.

Students took a wide variety of courses that included English, agriculture science, physics, social sciences, visual and performing arts, psychology, mathematics and statistics, social sciences, precision production and communications technologies.
