College & Career Programs
Our Early College Programs prepare you for a career in demand such as technology, healthcare, real estate, construction or education. While in high school, you can earn a two-year associates degree at no cost through our partnership with ÁùºÏ±¦µä Community College (ACC). These college credits can be put towards a four-year degree or you can enter directly in the workforce after graduation. The choice is yours. Either way, you can get up to two years of college credit without taking on any debt.
