Early College Academy
Graduate High School & College at the same time!
We are committed to creating fast-track educational opportunities for high school students interested in getting a head start on their careers or college experience. Our ECA program gives high school students a chance to eliminate two years of college and enter a 4-year college or university as a Junior. Not to mention, two years of accumulated debt.
Spring 2025 rosters and registration forms are due November 1st

Choose Your Pathway
We offer a variety of pathways for high school students through our Early College Academy. These pathways are meant to be taken alongside a high school student’s normal coursework required for high school graduation.
All course layouts are recommended but not required unless otherwise stated, as some courses are only offered during certain terms. Students may change the order of courses as long as all prerequisites are met.
To see a full listing of all the career pathways available to you, download a copy of our ECA Career Pathways Guide below.
