College Acceleration Program

MCC's College Acceleration Program (CAP)
provide a jump-start for high school students

There are a variety of ways for students to earn college credit before graduating from high school. Students can enroll in dual credit (taught at the high school by high school instructors) courses, dual enrollment (taught at an MCC campus or online) courses, or participate in an Early College Academy (structured program with participating high schools, where students take several courses per semester at an MCC campus).

Many students benefit by obtaining work-ready credentials quickly to dive right into the workforce or by earning enough college credit to graduate with a high school diploma and Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree at the same time.
