College in High School Courses
College in High School (CHS) courses provide high school students the opportunity to earn college credits and receive a grade on a college/university transcript for courses successfully completed. Students enrolling in the CHS courses will be required to pay a fee to the college/university for each course. Additionally, students may elect to take these courses without earning college credit. Fox Chapel Area High School currently has concurrent enrollment agreements with the University of Pittsburgh, Seton Hill University, and Duquesne University.
