Oklahoma City University’s Star Launch program makes it easier for high school students to begin their college journey with affordable concurrent enrollment courses. Students pay just $150 per credit hour and, if they choose to attend OCU after high school, receive that cost back as a first-year tuition credit for up to 12 credit hours — a savings of up to $1,800. The credit can also be combined with other scholarships and financial aid, giving future Stars an affordable way to earn college credit and get an early start at OCU.
