Pre-College 

Local high school seniors (in the Salem area) can take advantage of Corban’s pre-college program to get a jump start on their college education with significant tuition savings.

Earn up to 14 credits at a special rate of just $65 per credit. That’s an even better value than community college, and you’ll get to learn from professors who share the same Christian beliefs as you and incorporate them into each class.

As an added benefit, pre-college students in good standing are automatically admitted to Corban upon graduation from high school with qualifying SAT, ACT, or CLT scores. Pre-college credits can be applied to degree programs at Corban with no additional charge, saving you up to an entire college semester of time and tuition.
