If you’re an international student enrolled in another college or university, you can still apply to study at San Jacinto College at the same time. Find out how you can apply for concurrent enrollment.

Why Study at Two Schools at Once?

As a student at another institution, you may want to concurrently enroll at San Jac to take advantage of specialized courses that may not be offered at your current school. It can give you the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills you need to reach your academic and career goals. 

On top of all that, concurrent enrollment will allow you to network and build relationships with San Jac’s excellent professors and passionate students.

Check with your college or university for a list of courses that will transfer from San Jac.
