Is an Early College Program Right for Me? Are you a motivated student that likes to be in control of your learning? Do you like to be challenged? Is a rigorous curriculum something that you want in your academic program? Would you benefit from additional supports in your learning journey? Are you willing to put in extra time and effort for the reward of being in an accelerated program? Do you feel your biggest obstacle to college is the cost? Do you feel you would thrive in a mature, adult-oriented environment? Are you a student that works hard and learns to learn, even if you do not get “A’s”

What is an Early College? Is this the same as Dual Enrollment? An Early College is a high school program in which high school and college coursework is integrated into one curriculum. The result is 6 years of academic coursework, completed in 5 years- with NO tuition costs to families. Early Colleges differ Dual Enrollment primarily on the basis that Early Colleges automatically have College Coursework included in the student’s curriculum, whereas Dual Enrollment may be elected if it fits into the student’s curriculum and if other conditions are met. Early Colleges are much more rigorous in plan of study.
