2020 College Acceleration Program
Challenge yourself and kickstart your college career this summer by taking college-level courses through Monmouth University’s College Acceleration Program (CAP). Motivated high school rising seniors can enroll in introductory courses that are typically taken by college freshmen and are generally accepted for transfer at other colleges and universities.
Through CAP, you will complete a rigorous curriculum led by faculty who are at the top of their fields.. You can explore different subjects, beef up your college resume, learn something new, and earn 3-6 credits—all from home.
CAP Courses
Our visiting high school students are given the opportunity to choose from the introductory courses, with no prerequisites. For additional help with course selection, please contact Danielle Colbert in the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 732-263-5872 or dcolbert@monmouth.edu.
CAP Qualifications
In order to be accepted into the CAP, students must:
- Be a rising high school senior
- Have a cumulative 3.0 GPA
- Have an SAT score of 1100 or ACT score of 22 or higher. PSATs will also be accepted.

CAP Application Deadline
The application deadline for the College Acceleration Program is June 29, 2020. Classes begin July 13, 2020.
Summer Tuition
Summer 2020 undergraduate tuition has been reduced 15% to $952 per credit. A typical Monmouth class is 3 credits; most labs are 4 credits. A lab fee will be applicable for some courses.
Summer Application and Application Process
Applying for CAP is easy. Submit the online application along with a $50 application fee and a letter of recommendation from their school counselor (letter must include recommendation, SAT/PSAT or ACT scores, and GPA). This letter of recommendation can be procured in advance and then attached to the online application. Alternatively, you can provide your school counselor’s name and email address on the online application, and we will contact them for approval.
