How has concurrent enrollment made an impact? Concurrent enrollment has helped prepare me for college because it’s given me the knowledge of what it’s like to be part of discussions in classrooms, what homework is like, and how all of that is different than a high school classroom. Concurrent enrollment classes was a little scary to me at first but it just gave me the confidence to go into college and know that those credits are there for me. The concurrent enrollment program through Boise State allowed me to get a jump start on my college education, save time and money, and allow me to get a feel for what a college class would be like while still in high school.
