EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM
Earn College Credit While Attending High School
Our early college program allows you to take college-level coursework before officially enrolling in college. This cost-effective option helps you get a head start on your degree while providing flexibility for your future college schedule. Early college offers a preview of what to expect in higher education, helping you make informed decisions before committing to a college.
Why choose the early college program?
Early college is an excellent option if you want to preview what to expect from a college course before you get there. Some students have taken eligible courses to satisfy a general course requirement for a degree program at the college that offers the course. Others are able to petition to transfer their course credits to a different college. Whether your course counts toward a college degree or not, you will get an edge when it comes to adding college-level learning to your high school experience. Your options will ultimately depend on your goals and the college or university you decide to attend.
