College Bridge Program

What is the College Bridge Program?

APU International College Bridge Program (CBP) gives students an opportunity to experience college coursework and earn college credit before graduating from high school.

APU College Bridge Program prepares young adults for the transition to college while saving their families thousands of dollars in college tuition, room and board. While experiencing the rigors of a college education, CBP students get a head start on their college coursework and the opportunity to explore their career interests and disciplines from early on.

Credits earned through the College Bridge Program are recognized by most respected American colleges and universities (*). These courses are taught by highly credential professors.

Use the College Bridge Program to accelerate your studies!

At APU, qualified high school students can skip of high school, take college classes via our College Bridge Program, and receive dual credit for both a high school diploma and a college degree. Students can save one or two years in earning their bachelor’s degrees. Extra time will be needed if students must start in Intensive ELD.

The College Bridge Program allows students to:

  • Fast Track: Enter college before completing high school and graduate from university at least one year earlier than your high school classmates.
  • Save Time and Money: Get a high school diploma plus earn transferable university credit at the same time. Take classes that count for both high school and university transfer!
