Post Secondary Options

The BSM post secondary options program allows students to earn college credit by taking courses at BSM or through enrolling in Post-Secondary Education Options (PSEO) on a MN college campus. 

In partnership with the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus and Saint Mary's University, students can take undergraduate-level courses while still in high school at BSM. Course information can be found below and in the most current program of studies.

AP courses are also available at BSM with the option of earning college credit upon a passing score on the AP exams. See the AP Courses and Exams page for more information.

Attention Parents and Students:
Please know that some colleges and universities may recognize coursework completed at other institutions. Check with your college of choice regarding their individual transfer credit policy.

If you have questions about your post-secondary options while a student at BSM, please reach out to your school counselor.
