PSEO at Bemidji State University

The Post Secondary Education Opportunities (PSEO) program was implemented by the Minnesota Legislature to give students an opportunity to enhance or enrich the education that they are receiving at their local high school, alternative area learning center, charter school or home school.

The PSEO Advantage

Talented and motivated high school students who are capable of handling on-campus college-level work have the opportunity to challenge themselves with 1000 and 2000 level courses at BSU while completing their high school graduation requirements. Not only will you grow intellectually, you will signal to future schools that you are hard-working and ambitious.
