Partnering with Wright State

Wright State University is pleased to partner with school districts throughout Ohio in the College Credit Plus (CCP) program. College Credit Plus is a single program under which high school students earn transcripted high school college credit and college credit at the successful conclusion of that coursework. The Ohio Department of Higher Education has established a set of courses through the Ohio Transfer Module and Transfer Assurance Guides that ensure classes have equivalent content and are accepted at all public Ohio institutions of higher education. Wright State’s CCP course selection focuses on these courses that provide seamless transferability to any public Ohio community college or university. 
 

Earning College Credits

There are three distinct ways for students in high school to earn college credit at Wright State through the CCP program:

• Through courses on the Wright State Campus
• Through online courses provided by Wright State
• Through courses at the high school taught by high school faculty who meet the Ohio Board of Regents requirements for teaching college level classes
