The Advanced College Credit Program (ACCP) is designed for high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. Courses are taught at the student's high school by high school instructors who have been approved by Rockhurst University.
Rockhurst University's ACCP coursework is equivalent to introductory college courses but is offered at a significantly lower cost. This program allows students to get a head start on their college coursework, as these courses are highly transferable to many colleges and universities.
WHY CHOOSE RU FOR DUAL CREDIT?
Rockhurst University, Kansas City’s Jesuit university, is part of a prestigious network of 27 Jesuit institutions across the U.S., rooted in a mission of academic excellence, service, and personal growth. Our Jesuit approach to education is inclusive, holistic, and transformative.
Through the ACCP program, students and teachers become part of this values-driven network. ACCP courses, taught by Rockhurst-approved instructors, combine college-level rigor with a focus on ethical and personal development. Students earn transferable RU credit that reflects their commitment to academic and personal excellence—no matter where they go next.
Expect streamlined registration, clear communication, and dedicated support from our ACCP Coordinator. Teachers benefit from one-on-one faculty liaison support, access to university resources, and professional connections in their field.
