Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)

PSEO Student - Red Wing campusMinnesota State College Southeast gladly participates in the PSEO program and offers the following information to further explain this wonderful opportunity. If you have questions about PSEO, please contact us – we will be very glad to help you!

The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Program is the program established by Minnesota State Statutes 124D.09 to "promote rigorous educational pursuits and provide a wider variety of options for students." Through PSEO, 10th, 11th and 12th grade high school students may earn both high school and college credit for college-level courses completed on a college campus, at a high school, or at another location.   

Start by talking to your high school counselor about PSEO, or contact the Director of Secondary Relations at 507-453-1467 or pseo@southeastmn.edu for more information.
