1818 Advanced College Credit Program

Jumpstart Your College Career in the High School Classroom

Also known as dual credit, advanced college credit allows high school students to complete college coursework while still in high school. Courses are taught at the student's high school, by high school instructors certified to teach college coursework.

¶¶Òõpro's 1818 Program coursework offers the same transferability to universities nationwide as traditional college credit but comes at a significantly lower cost than standard college courses.

Students who participate in SLU's 1818 Program:

  • Pay $75 per credit. See how that compares to the cost of a traditional college class.
  • Have the potential to graduate from college early.
  • Have more room in their college schedule to do things like study abroad, internships, or double major.
  • Get early exposure to college and college immersion opportunities.

¶¶Òõpro the 1818 Program

What sets 1818 courses apart from an AP or IB course?

Unlike AP or IB, there is no formal examination conducted at the end of the course. Upon completion of an 1818 course, the student receives a grade on an official Saint Louis University transcript. The student may send this transcript to the college or university of their choice. 

Who is eligible to participate?

While expectations for program participants are high, the 1818 Program encourages students who wish to challenge themselves academically to participate. While our program is mostly open to just juniors and seniors with a GPA 3.0 or higher, certain exceptions may qualify some of our younger students to participate.
