At Southeastern University (SEU), we believe that education should shape hearts, minds, and souls for purposeful living, all while preparing students for a career. Through CC Plus, our exclusive partnership with Classical Conversations, we are honored to extend our mission to families across the nation who are committed to classical, Christian education.
CC Plus allows students to earn college credit from an accredited university while actively participating in their local CC Challenge community. This gives them the opportunity to maximize their efforts, gain valuable upper-level educational experience, and get a head start on their college journey. This concurrent enrollment program blends seamlessly with the classical model, encouraging students to grow intellectually and spiritually while making meaningful progress toward their future.
For Challenge graduates ready for the next step, SEU also offers undergraduate programs at:
- our Lakeland, Florida campus
- online
- at more than 200 partner sites nationwide
For parents passionate about deepening their understanding of the classical tradition, our Master of Arts in Classical Studies provides a rich and rewarding path forward.
One Mission, Many Pathways
At the heart of SEU’s partnership with Classical Conversations is a shared commitment to Christ-centered education, academic excellence, and purposeful living. Whether you’re taking your first steps into college-level work through CC Plus, continuing your academic journey after Challenge, or seeking to enrich your own understanding as a parent or educator, SEU offers a pathway designed to support your unique goals. Here’s how.
CC Plus Concurrent Enrollment: Earn College Credit for Challenge Students
In partnership with Classical Conversations, SEU offers families with students enrolled in the Challenge Program (Classical Conversations’ 6-year academic program) the opportunity to enlarge and extend their Christian learning community into the college level. Through CC Plus, Challenge students across the United States can participate in collegiate-level coursework online.
What Is Concurrent Enrollment and How Does It Work with Classical Conversations?
The Concurrent Enrollment Program offers high school students the chance to get a head start on college. While continuing their Challenge coursework in their local Classical Conversations Community, students can enroll in online SEU college courses through CC Plus. For an average of $500 per course, students gain access to a growing list of SEU classes, equipping them with college credits upon completion, which can be applied toward a future degree.
Similar to dual enrollment programs, students enroll in designated SEU classes that are taken in tandem with their Challenge assignments. They submit assignments directly to SEU faculty to receive professional feedback and academic support, giving them the benefit of having their coursework evaluated through a collegiate lens.
What makes this partnership unique?
- SEU’s academic integrity
- faith-based approach align with the mission of Classical Conversations
- rubrics, supplemental resources, and refined assessment tools available
This program provides flexibility, affordability, and academic rigor — without compromising the classical, Christian educational framework homeschooling families value most. Students can explore upper-level coursework, gain confidence in their academic abilities, and accumulate credits toward a future degree, all while staying connected in community in their Challenge program.
Whether your student is exploring future possibilities or already has their sights set on a specific major, the Concurrent Enrollment Program is a strategic way to steward their effort and curiosity. Visit this page to learn more.
