Overview
Started in 1998 with legislative support, the Boise State University Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP) has provided thousands of Idaho students the opportunity to complete college-level courses while still in high school.
The CEP’s success is driven by partnerships between qualified professionals in the high schools and Boise State University. Boise State University takes pride in the opportunity to play a significant role in the education of top-performing students in Idaho.
