International Baccalaureate (IB)
IB classes are writing and research intensive.
IB Diploma students complete coursework and test in six areas: English, World Languages, Social Sciences, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts. Diploma students also create and complete a project in creativity, activity, and service opportunities (CAS), write an extended essay (EE), and take Theory of Knowledge (TOK). If Diploma students are unable to complete Diploma requirements, they can be considered for individual HL course certificates.

How to earn credit: Earn Diploma or individual IBHL certificates.
Cost: $119 per exam

Early College
Early College students can complete all their courses at one of Weber State University's campuses OR combine CE courses at CHS with courses at WSU. When students ask about obtaining their Associates Degree by the time they graduate high school, this is the ONLY option to do so.

Cost:
- One time application fee to Weber State University.
- $5 per credit if taken as CE (classes award different credit amounts, costs are usually $15-20)

What credit will I earn? General Education and additional credit depending on what classes you take. WSU General Education Course Lists
Certificate of Completion
What is the Certificate of Completion?
- A certificate from WSU stating that ALL General Education requirements are fulfilled.
- The certificate can be presented to ANY in-state PUBLIC University or College and GE requirements will be waived, even if they are different.

How is this different from an Associates Degree?
An Associates Degree requires 60 credits
- 39 General Education Credits (same as certificate requirements)
- 21 Elective Credits
Benefits of the Certificate of Completion:
- Waive over a year of college coursework
- Save tuition costs
