What is Concurrent credit?

Quitman High school students have the opportunity to satisfy both high school and university credit requirements simultaneously through specific concurrent credit courses. Concurrent course offerings use the same curriculum as courses taught at the university while providing high school students with the opportunity to acquire some credit in college level general education courses.​
QHS currently offers one concurrent course, Introduction to Education through the University of Central Arkansas.  
A long range plan is in place to offer concurrent courses in math, english, science and social studies at QHS. 
Mathematics concurrent courses may be offered at QHS as soon as the 2017/2018 school year.  

Courses at college
High School Credit + College Credit = Concurrent Enrollment Credit
The ASU- Heber Springs Concurrent Enrollment Program is a partnership between ASU- Heber Springs and participating school districts. Through this program, you have the opportunity to prepare for the academic challenges of college by enrolling in ASU- Heber courses before you begin your full-time college studies.  Students are responsible for cost of college, transportation and books/materials.

Virtual ar online
Virtual Arkansas' concurrent campus provides opportunities for students to earn college credit while simultaneously earning high school credits. We partner with the University of Arkansas at Monticello to provide college credit for courses offered. The following courses are available for concurrent credit through the concurrent credit campus:Comp I and II, U.S. History I and II, World Civ I and II, Spanish I and II, Oral Communication, Art Appreciation, College Math, and College Algebra. These courses are listed on the Arkansas Course Transfer System; therefore, college credits earned for these can be transferred to any public college or university in Arkansas. Students will stay on QHS campus to take these classes online. Registration is through QHS and students are responsible for textbooks and misc. materials.
