Early Scholars

Early Scholars is Olivet’s Dual Enrollment College Credit Program for High Schoolers

ONU Early Scholars is an affordable way for students to gain valuable college credit while still in high school! Juniors and seniors choose from Cybersecurity, Calculus, Psychology, Spanish, Music, Literature, Management, Art, Physics, or from more than 40 Early Scholar Courses.

Offered both on-campus and online, students enroll alongside current undergraduate students, providing an engaging online community and university-level experience.

Olivet Nazarene University works with public, private, and homeschool students to choose those courses most valuable to each student’s experience.

Dual Enrollment Course Eligibility

Juniors and seniors in high school who meet GPA and test score requirements. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@olivet.edu or call 800-648-1463.

Through the program I have been able to meet many new people and be challenged while studying new subject areas that have gripped my interest. The Early Scholars Program is an absolute win for high school juniors and seniors.
