start and gives them a tremendous advantage in any university or college. I HIGHLY support <strong>College</strong> in the<br />
Schools.<br />
<strong>College</strong> in the Schools not only helped me get a head start on my college career but also financially helped me<br />
and, most importantly, prepared me for the academic expectations and rigor that so many high schoolers are<br />
unprepared for when entering the college.<br />
<strong>College</strong> in the Schools prepared me for college more than AP classes because we were treated more like college<br />
students with the same amount <strong>of</strong> expectations in CIS. In AP classes, it was just a high school class with a test at<br />
the end.<br />
<strong>College</strong> in the Schools was a great experience--it was actually one <strong>of</strong> my favorite classes in high school. I earned<br />
4 college credits that went toward my Intro to Literature class so I didn't have to pay to take it in college. It was<br />
well worth it .<br />
<strong>College</strong> in the Schools was a great way to prepare for college. These courses, along with my AP courses, helped<br />
me immensely.<br />
<strong>College</strong> in the Schools was beneficial both financially and academically. Please continue to <strong>of</strong>fer this and other<br />
similar programs to high school students.<br />
<strong>College</strong> is the schools is a wonderful program which allows students to hold themselves to higher standards <strong>of</strong><br />
achievement. I encourage legislators to look deeper into it. TRUE, those <strong>of</strong> us graduating early thanks to this<br />
program are many, but those students also are the same who will succeed through anything in life, because CIS<br />
gave them a window <strong>of</strong> opportunity to challenge the complex social reality <strong>of</strong> our days. I urge legislators to<br />
continue this program.<br />
Completing an undergraduate degree, for most focuses, is hard to do in four years. The more <strong>of</strong> a head start one<br />
has going into it the better the chances <strong>of</strong> getting out in four years. I don't think there is any reason why some<br />
freshman level classes cannot be taught in the senior year <strong>of</strong> high school.<br />
Concurrent enrollment programs are necessary for students to graduate from a 4 year institution in 4 years.<br />
Definitely a valuable experience--get college credit, do college level work, but in the smaller, more personal high<br />
school environment. I wish I could have had more CIS course opportunities.<br />
Essential. They allow students flexibility within the requirements <strong>of</strong> liberal arts colleges. Without additional credit<br />
I would have been unable to travel abroad and graduate on time. They also provide flexibility in the same manner<br />
when selecting a major.<br />
Excellent opportunity for college-bound high school students to get a head start on general credit coursework.<br />
For high achieving students the CIS program provides an extra incentive to work to their full potential by <strong>of</strong>fering<br />
college credit in high schoool. I think that for student that excel in mainstream high school coursework CIS is<br />
essential.<br />
Graduating college in 4 years these days is VERY difficult! Offering and stressing the importance <strong>of</strong> CIS classes<br />
in high school is a must to help students accomplish classes, get them out <strong>of</strong> the way and help speed the process<br />
up.<br />
Great course.<br />
Great experience that really helped prepare me for college level work.<br />
Great program for those willing to make something out <strong>of</strong> it.<br />
Great program! Excellent way to earn credits from an acclaimed university without doing PSEO.<br />
Had I not had such fine teachers in my regularly <strong>of</strong>fered high school programs I believe CIS would have been<br />
significantly more important. I feel this was an exception, and not the rule, and I hope this program continues to<br />
also give students a taste <strong>of</strong> college.<br />
Having taken college courses helped me to be able to afford college. If I hadn't taken them it would have been<br />
much more time in college.<br />
Having the program allowed me to be better prepared to succeed in college.<br />
I am very grateful for my CIS experiences. I was more amply prepared for college. Furthermore, I was able to<br />
take more classes at University and study abroad (a wonderful experience) due to my CIS credits.<br />
I believe CIS was a great program that allowed students to earn college credit without having to miss out on the<br />
fun <strong>of</strong> daily high school life.<br />
I believe that CIS is an excellent program and it was a great way to start college level courses. It deserves<br />
